PERFECT SALMON BURGERS



Perfect Salmon Burgers image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h

Yield 4 burgers

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 pounds center-cut salmon fillet, skin and pin bones removed
2 tablespoons dijon mustard
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
Pinch of cayenne pepper
2 scallions, chopped
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
4 brioche buns, split
Tartar sauce and arugula, for topping

Steps:

  • Cut three-quarters of the salmon into 1/4-inch pieces. Put in a large bowl. Cut the rest of the salmon into chunks; transfer the chunks to a food processor along with the mustard, mayonnaise, lemon juice, lemon zest and cayenne. Pulse to make a paste. Add the pureed salmon mixture to the bowl with the diced salmon. Add the scallions, 2 tablespoons panko, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper to taste. Gently mix until just combined.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and brush with olive oil. Divide the salmon mixture into 4 mounds on the parchment paper. With damp hands, pat into 4-inch-wide, 3/4-inch-thick patties. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the broiler. Spread the remaining 1 cup panko on a plate. Press both sides of the salmon patties in the panko. Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties (in batches if necessary) and cook until browned on the bottom, 3 to 4 minutes, adjusting the heat if necessary. Turn and cook until the other side is browned and the patties feel springy in the center, 3 to 4 more minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain; season with salt.
  • Meanwhile, arrange the buns, cut-side up, on a broiler pan and broil until toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve the patties on the buns; top with tartar sauce and arugula.

SALMON BURGERS



Salmon Burgers image

For this recipe, you'll want to grind part of the salmon in a food processor: It'll bind the rest, which can be coarsely chopped to retain moisture during cooking. Some bread crumbs keep the burger from becoming as densely packed as (bad) meatloaf. This approach, along with a few simple seasonings, produces delicious burgers in not much more time than it takes to make one from ground chuck. The only real trick is to avoid overcooking. Whether you sauté, broil or grill this burger, it's best when the center remains the color of ... salmon. Two or three minutes a side usually does the trick.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless salmon
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 shallots, peeled and cut into chunks
1/2 cup coarse bread crumbs
1 tablespoon capers, drained
Salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
Lemon wedges
Tabasco sauce

Steps:

  • Cut the salmon into large chunks, and put about a quarter of it into the container of a food processor, along with the mustard. Turn the machine on, and let it run - stopping to scrape down the sides if necessary - until the mixture becomes pasty.
  • Add the shallots and the remaining salmon, and pulse the machine on and off until the fish is chopped and well combined with the puree. No piece should be larger than a 1/4 inch or so; be careful not make the mixture too fine.
  • Scrape the mixture into a bowl, and by hand, stir in the bread crumbs, capers and some salt and pepper. Shape into four burgers. (You can cover and refrigerate the burgers for a few hours at this point.)
  • Place the butter or oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet, and turn the heat to medium-high. When the butter foam subsides or the oil is hot, cook the burgers for 2 to 3 minutes a side, turning once. Alternatively, you can grill them: Let them firm up on the first side, grilling about 4 minutes, before turning over and finishing for just another minute or two. To check for doneness, make a small cut and peek inside. Be careful not to overcook. Serve on a bed of greens or on buns or by themselves, with lemon wedges and Tabasco or any dressing you like.

SPINACH HAMBURGERS



Spinach Hamburgers image

This is an easy, flavorful way to prepare burgers--and sneak in a little spinach. You can also prepare these as meatballs!

Provided by Chellerific

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 20m

Yield 4-8 patties

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (10 ounce) package frozen spinach, thawed
1 (1 1/4 ounce) envelope onion soup mix
2 lbs ground beef
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 dash salt and pepper

Steps:

  • In skillet, combine spinach and soup mix. Cook until onions are tender, then drain.
  • In a bowl, combine all ingredients. (It's easiest to use your hands.)
  • Form four to eight patties, and cook 5 minutes on each side.

Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon. Opt for wild-caught salmon for the best flavor and texture. Make sure the salmon is fresh and free of any blemishes.
  • Don't overcook the salmon. Salmon is a delicate fish that can easily become dry and overcooked. Cook it just until it is opaque in the center, about 4-5 minutes per side.
  • Use fresh spinach. Fresh spinach has a brighter flavor and more nutrients than wilted spinach. If you don't have fresh spinach, you can use frozen spinach that has been thawed and squeezed dry.
  • Don't overmix the burger mixture. Overmixing will make the burgers tough. Just mix the ingredients until they are combined.
  • Cook the burgers over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from sticking to the pan and will also ensure that they are cooked evenly.
  • Serve the burgers immediately. Salmon burgers are best served hot off the grill. You can top them with your favorite toppings, such as tartar sauce, lettuce, tomato, and onion.

Conclusion:

Salmon spinach burgers are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional beef burgers. They are packed with protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins. They are also easy to make and can be cooked in just a few minutes. If you are looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy salmon, give these burgers a try. They are sure to be a hit!
