Fresh wild Alaskan salmon (or even frozen fillets) produce delicious burgers perfect for every cookout. Once you taste a freshly made salmon burger, you may never want a frozen, premade patty again.

Provided by Michelle Dudash

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 scallions, cut into 4 pieces
1 1/4 pounds wild Alaskan salmon, skinned, boned and cut into 6 chunks
1 lemon, zest finely grated, half juiced, half cut into wedges
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Oil, for greasing
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 1/2 teaspoons Sriracha
Hamburger buns or lettuce, for serving

Steps:

  • For the burgers: Cut parchment or waxed paper into four 6-inch squares. Chop the scallions in a food processor. Add the salmon, lemon zest and juice, and pulse until finely chopped, with some small pieces remaining. Divide the salmon into four mounds on the parchment squares. Shape the salmon into patties, about 4 1/2-inches wide, being mindful not to over handle. Either cook right away or cover and refrigerate the burgers for a few hours before cooking.
  • When ready to cook, preheat grill to medium heat, 375 to 400 degrees F.
  • Sprinkle the tops of the burgers with salt and pepper. Grease the preheated grill with oil and carefully flip the burgers onto the grill, parchment-side up. Peel off the parchment and sprinkle the other side of burgers with salt and pepper. Cook until the centers begin to turn pale pink and the burgers release from the grill, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook through, about 3 minutes. For the mayonnaise: Combine the mayonnaise and Sriracha.
  • Serve the burgers in buns or lettuce wraps. Top with the mayonnaise and serve with the lemon wedges.

Categories     Main Dish

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 salmon fillets (skin on)
1 lime (quartered, for garnish)
1 cup fresh cilantro
zest and juice of 1 lime
1 clove garlic (minced)
½ cup olive oil (more as needed)
2 teaspoons kosher salt

  • Make the cilantro lime marinade. In a small food processor, pulse together the cilantro, lime zest and juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Add additional olive oil as needed until you reach a smooth consistency.
  • Marinate. Place the salmon portions in a gallon-sized zip-top bag. Add the marinade to the bag, press out any excess air, and seal. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours (not any longer.)
  • Preheat. When ready to cook the salmon, prepare your grill for indirect cooking at medium heat. Your target temperature in your grill should be around 375 to 400 degrees F.
  • Grill. Remove the salmon from the marinade and place it on your grill, skin side down. Use a spoon to spread any additional marinade on top of the salmon. Grill for 8-10 minutes (without flipping) or until the salmon is done. Your salmon is finished when the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F. The flesh will appear opaque and flake easily with a fork.
  • Enjoy. Serve immediately with freshly sliced lime wedges and additional cilantro, if desired.

HONEY-SOY GRILLED SALMON WITH CILANTRO NOODLES



Honey-Soy Grilled Salmon With Cilantro Noodles image

I found this in my mom's newspaper in Canada. It turned out fabulous and we all thought it was something you'd order in a restaurant. Wonderful presentation, but very easy. Enjoy.

Provided by Chill

Categories     < 30 Mins

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 (2 ounce) packages rice vermicelli
4 (6 ounce) salmon fillets (I used one big piece)
olive oil
sea salt
ground black pepper
5 tablespoons light soy sauce
3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons sesame oil
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
vegetable oil, for brushing
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons black sesame seeds (I didn't have any)

Steps:

  • Prepare a medium-hot grill. While grill is heating, soak the vermicelli in a large bowl with hot water until soft, about 20 minutes. Brush the salmon with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Make the glaze for the salmon by combining 1 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp honey, and 1/2 tsp ground pepper. Set aside.
  • Make the dressing; in a small bowl combine 4 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, sesame oil and lemon juice. Place salmon skin side up and place on an oiled grill. Grill for around 2 minutes Turn salmon over and brush with glaze. Cover and cook until salmon is opaque, but very moist (depending on size 3-5mins approx). I did not use a grill, instead I just broiled the fish, and did not turn it over as it had no skin on it. While the fish is cooking drain the vermicelli and pat dry with paper towels. Toss the noddles with the dressing, cilantro and sesame seeds. Serve with salmon.
