Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ pounds boneless skinless salmon fillets cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 shallot roughly chopped
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 4 brioche hamburger buns
  • 1 batch Homemade Tartar Sauce (you may have some left over)
  • 2 cups shredded iceberg lettuce

Instructions

  • Place 1/4 of salmon in bowl of food processor fitted with knife blade attachment. Add Dijon and shallot, and process until mixture is a smooth puree, scraping down sides of bowl occasionally.
  • Add remaining salmon to food processor, and pulse processor on and off a few times, just until this salmon is chopped into roughly 1/4-inch pieces and combined with the puree. Be careful not to process too much, as you DON'T want this fish to also be totally puréed.
  • Add salmon mixture to large mixing bowl. Add breadcrumbs, garlic powder, Old Bay, salt and pepper. Use rubber spatula to gently fold until well combined.
  • Shape mixture into 4 burger patties.
  • Heat oil in large cast iron or nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add burgers and cook 5 to 7 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F, turning once.
  • Serve burgers on buns with tartar sauce and lettuce.
