For Salmon Burgers:
- 1 pound skinless wild salmon fillet, cubed
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium shallot, chopped or 3 tablespoons chopped red onion
- 1 tablespoon sambal oelek (red chili paste)
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
- 1/2 lime, juiced
- 2 tablespoons light mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
- 1/4 cup Panko bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 4 whole wheat hamburger buns (optional)
- Avocado slices
For Broccoli Slaw:
- 1/2 bag broccoli slaw mix
- 1 cup chopped fresh kale
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 cup shredded purple cabbage
- 1/4 red onion thinly sliced
- 1 carrot, shredded
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
- 1 jalapeno pepper, chopped
For Sambal Aioli:
- 1/4 cup light mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon sambal oelek
Instructions
- In a food processor pulse salmon pieces until ground up. In a large bowl, combine well the salmon, garlic, shallots, sambal oelek, fish sauce, ginger, lime juice, mayonnaise, cilantro and mint. Add in the panko bread crumbs and form burger patties.
- Heat oil on medium high in a large frying pan on stove. Fry salmon burgers on each side until well browned on each side, about 4 minutes.
- Combine all ingredients for broccoli slaw in a large bowl and top the burgers with slaw, avocado slices, and the sambal aioli.
To make the Sambal Aioli: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and sambal oelek.
Notes
- Don't forget to remove the skin on the salmon before putting it in the food processor. You will not get the same results for perfectly chopped salmon!
- Add more of the sambal oelek if you like it super spicy!
- Top with your favorites, like avocado slices and tomatoes.
- Make it gluten-free! Use GF Panko bread crumbs and lose the bun! This salmon burger is also great on top of a green salad. So many options.
- These burgers work great with vegan mayo too! (That's what I used.)
