Best Salmon Burgers With Ginger Mustard Mayonnaise Recipes

Salmon Burgers with Ginger-Wasabi Mayo and Sesame-Crusted French Fries image

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 sack (16 to 18 ounces) crispy-style frozen French fries
4 tablespoons sesame seeds
1 1/2 pounds fresh salmon fillet, pin bones and skin removed
2 garlic cloves, chopped
3-inch piece of fresh ginger, minced or grated
3 tablespoons tamari (dark aged soy sauce, found on the international aisle)
2 scallions, white and green parts, chopped
1/2 small red bell pepper, cored, seeded, and finely chopped
2 teaspoons sesame oil (eyeball it)
2 teaspoons grill seasoning, such as McCormick's Montreal Steak Seasoning, or 1 teaspoon coarse black pepper and 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt (eyeball it)
Coarse black pepper
1 tablespoon light-in-color oil, such as canola, safflower, or peanut oil
1/2 to 3/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons wasabi paste
Juice of 1 lime
4 sesame kaiser rolls, split and toasted
Red leaf lettuce, for garnish

Steps:

Preheat the oven according to the package directions for the fries.
Spread the French fries out on a cookie sheet and cook according to the package directions. Three minutes before the fries are finished cooking, remove them from the oven, sprinkle with the sesame seeds, toss with a spatula to coat, and return to the oven to finish cooking and to toast the sesame seeds.
Cube the salmon into bite-size pieces and place in a food processor. Pulse the processor to coarse-grind the salmon; it should take on the consistency of ground beef or turkey. Transfer the salmon to a bowl and combine with the garlic, three fourths of the ginger, the tamari, scallions, red bell peppers, sesame oil, grill seasoning, and black pepper. Form 4 large patties, 1 1/2 inches thick. Drizzle the patties on both sides with the oil. Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, add the salmon burgers, and cook for 5 to 6 minutes on each side for well done.
While the salmon burgers are cooking, prepare the ginger-wasabi mayo. In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, wasabi paste, lime juice, and the remaining ginger.
Spread the ginger-wasabi mayonnaise on the buns. Top with a salmon burger and red leaf lettuce and set the bun tops in place. Serve with the sesame-crusted French fries.

Salmon Burgers with Wasabi Mayo Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Number Of Ingredients 16

Wasabi Mayo:
2 Tbsp wasabi powder
1-1/2 Tbsp water
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 tsp freshly grated ginger
1 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp lemon juice
Burgers:
16 oz fresh salmon, cut into 2" chunks
2 scallions, cut into 1" pieces
.5 oz fresh ginger, peeled and cut into small pieces
2 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
2 tsp Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
2 Tbsp unseasoned gluten-free bread crumbs

Steps:

To prepare the mayo, whisk together wasabi powder and water in a small bowl until a paste forms. Whisk in the mayonnaise, ginger, soy sauce, and lemon juice until evenly incorporated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate at least 35 minutes. To prepare the burgers, preheat an outdoor grill over high heat. Place all the ingredients, except for the breadcrumbs, into the bowl of a food processor and pulse 12-15 times, or until the mixture is ground, with a few small chunks of salmon. Remove the mixture from the food processor and place it into a mixing bowl. Add the breadcrumbs and mix until evenly incorporated. Form 4 patties, place them on a plate, and refrigerate for 20 minutes. Lightly brush the outside of each patty with a little vegetable oil to prevent sticking, and place the salmon patties on the hot grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until char marks appear. Flip the patties and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the patties reads 155°F, about 4-5 more minutes. Serve the burgers on sesame seed buns and top with the wasabi mayo.

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.
