Servings: 4

Ingredients

Salmon fillets: 1 pound, skinless and boneless
Fresh dill: 1/4 cup, chopped
Garlic: 2 cloves, minced
Lemon zest: 1 tablespoon
Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
Black pepper: 1/4 teaspoon
Egg: 1, beaten
Bread crumbs: 1/2 cup
Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
Burger buns: 4, toasted
Lettuce: 4 leaves
Tomato: 1, sliced
Onion: 1/2, thinly sliced
Tartar sauce (optional): 1/4 cup

Instructions

Begin by finely chopping the salmon fillets into small pieces or pulse them in a food processor until roughly chopped. Avoid over-processing.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped salmon, dill, minced garlic, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Add the beaten egg and bread crumbs to the salmon mixture and stir until everything is evenly incorporated.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 1-inch thick.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the patties to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
While the patties are cooking, prepare the burger buns by toasting them lightly. This adds an extra crunch and prevents sogginess.
To serve, place each patty on a toasted bun, and top with fresh lettuce, tomato slices, and onion rings. For an added burst of flavor, drizzle with tartar sauce if desired.
