Steps:
- Heat 4 tablespoons olive oil in heavy medium skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and sauté until translucent, about 4 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high. Add white wine, lemon juice and drained capers and cook until almost all liquid evaporates, about 12 minutes. Transfer shallot mixture to large bowl. Refrigerate until shallot mixture is well chilled, about 1 hour.
- Using on/off turns, coarsely grind salmon fillets in processor. Add ground salmon to shallot mixture. Mix in fresh breadcrumbs, beaten eggs, dill, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 3/4 teaspoon pepper. Form salmon mixture into 10 patties, dividing equally. (Salmon patties can be prepared 6 hours ahead. Transfer to baking sheet, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.)
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add salmon patties to skillet and cook until patties are golden brown and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side, adding more oil to skillet as needed. Serve salmon burgers on toasted hamburger buns with mayonnaise, lettuce leaves and tomato slices.
Tips:
- Choose the right salmon. Fresh, wild-caught salmon is the best choice for this recipe. Avoid farmed salmon, as it can be lower in quality and have a higher fat content.
- Use a food processor to chop the salmon. This will help to ensure that the salmon burgers are evenly mixed and cooked.
- Add some moisture to the salmon mixture. This can be done with eggs, mayonnaise, or bread crumbs. If you are using bread crumbs, be sure to soak them in milk or water before adding them to the mixture.
- Season the salmon mixture well. Use a variety of spices and herbs, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dill. You can also add a bit of lemon zest or juice for a bright flavor.
- Form the salmon mixture into patties. Make sure the patties are evenly sized and thick enough to hold together on the grill.
- Cook the salmon burgers over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from burning on the outside and ensure that they are cooked through on the inside.
- Serve the salmon burgers with a variety of toppings. Some popular choices include lemon-sour cream sauce, tartar sauce, or guacamole.
Conclusion:
Salmon burgers are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional hamburgers. They are easy to make and can be cooked in a variety of ways. Whether you are grilling, baking, or pan-frying them, salmon burgers are sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you are looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy salmon, give these salmon burgers a try!
