I love a green goddess anything; salad, mussels, lobster tails, twice-baked potatoes. You name it and I’ve shared it on The Kitchen. This is my newest addition, and it’s my new favorite. If you aren’t into salmon, this is great with ground dark meat turkey or chicken!

Ingredients

Patties:

Directions

  1. For the patties: Finely chop a third of the salmon by hand and add it to a large bowl. Puree the remaining salmon in a food processor, then add to the bowl along with the cilantro, dill, parsley, tarragon, yogurt, salt, chipotle powder, lemon zest, lemon juice, scallions and a few grinds of black pepper. Stir to combine, then make 4 to 6 patties of equal size (a mounded 1/3 cup). Be sure to pack them tight. Place on a plate or tray and refrigerate for 4 to 8 hours.
  2. To finish: Preheat a large pan on medium heat and add a few tablespoons of oil. Add the patties and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, adding oil to the pan if needed.
  3. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on all the bun bottoms. Add a patty to each. Add a tomato slice to each and season with salt and pepper. Moisten a paper towel with vinegar and dab the leaves of lettuce with it. Add them to the burgers along with the bun tops.
