These Asian-inspired salmon burgers combine the flavors of fresh salmon, ginger, and soy sauce with a spicy mayo kick. Served on toasted buns with crispy bacon, lettuce, and tomato, they make for a delicious twist on the classic BLT sandwich.
Ingredients: 1 lb fresh salmon fillet, skin removed, and chopped. 1/4 cup breadcrumbs. 1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1 tablespoon ginger, minced. 1 tablespoon soy sauce. 1 teaspoon sesame oil. 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes adjust to taste. Salt and pepper to taste. 4 burger buns. 4 leaves of lettuce. 8 slices of bacon, cooked until crispy. 4 slices of tomato. 1/4 cup mayonnaise. 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce. 1 teaspoon honey. 1 teaspoon lime juice.
Instructions: In a food processor, pulse the salmon until it reaches a coarse texture. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped salmon, breadcrumbs, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties. Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Grease it lightly with oil to prevent sticking. Grill the salmon burgers for about 4-5 minutes per side or until they are cooked through and have a nice char on the outside. While the burgers are cooking, whisk together the mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, honey, and lime juice to make the spicy mayo. Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until they are lightly browned. To assemble the burgers, spread a generous amount of spicy mayo on the bottom half of each bun. Place a salmon burger patty on top of the mayo-covered bun. Top each burger with a lettuce leaf, two slices of crispy bacon, and a tomato slice. Place the top half of the bun on the stack to complete your Asian-Style Salmon Burger BLT. Serve hot, and enjoy!
