Yield Makes 10 burgers

Number Of Ingredients 15

5 tablespoons (or more) olive oil
1 cup chopped shallots (about 3 large)
1 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1 4-ounce jar capers, drained, chopped
2 pounds chilled skinless salmon fillets, cut into 1-inch pieces, any bones removed
3 cups fresh breadcrumbs made from French bread
2 large eggs, beaten to blend
3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
10 hamburger buns, split, toasted
Mayonnaise
Lettuce leaves
Tomato slices

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.

These salmon burgers were a bit dry for my taste. I think I would add more mayonnaise or butter to the mixture next time.

These salmon burgers are a great way to get your kids to eat fish. They're easy to make and they taste delicious. I like to serve them with a side of roasted vegetables.

I was pleasantly surprised by how well these salmon burgers turned out. They were moist and flavorful, and the lemon and capers gave them a nice kick. I served them on slider buns with lettuce, tomato, and tartar sauce.

These salmon burgers were a hit with my family! They were so easy to make and packed with flavor. The lemon and capers added a bright and tangy flavor that really complemented the salmon. I will definitely be making these again.
