Best Salmon Burgers With Tangy Slaw Recipes

SALMON BURGERS WITH SLAW

Steps:

• Flake the salmon apart. Mix all burger ingredients together and form into 3 large or 4 medium patties. Heat olive oil over medium heat, ideally in a nonstick skillet. Fry the burgers for a few minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Place on a paper towel lined plate and sprinkle with salt.
• Mix all slaw ingredients together. Taste and adjust.
• Serve up those hot salmon burgers on a bed of creamy slaw. I top mine with a dollop of extra yogurt and a swizzle of oil and more herbs. Can't stop me.

PERFECT SALMON BURGERS

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 WITH LEMON-CAPER AIOLI AND KALE SLAW

Steps:

• For the salmon burgers: Put the salmon, parsley, onion powder, salt, garlic powder, pepper, basil, egg and lemon zest in a food processor and blend until evenly mixed and the consistency of ground meat. Form into 4 patties and place on a baking sheet. Refrigerate for 20 minutes.
• For the lemon-caper aioli: While the salmon is chilling, make the aioli. Mix the mayonnaise, capers, basil, parsley, garlic and lemon juice in a bowl and refrigerate until serving.
• For the kale slaw: Combine the mayonnaise, yogurt, Dijon, vinegar, honey, celery seeds, salt and pepper in a bowl for the dressing. Add the dressing to a large bowl with the kale, cabbage and carrots and combine until everything is evenly coated. Top with the sunflower seeds.
• To cook the salmon burgers, heat the canola oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Cook the burgers until golden brown and crispy, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
• Toast and butter the buns. Serve the burgers on the buns with the aioli, tomatoes and watercress.

SALMON BURGERS WITH CAESAR SLAW

Steps:

• To flaked salmon, add egg whites, parsley, the zest and juice of 1 lemon, 2/3 of the total amount of chopped garlic, the bread crumbs and lots of black pepper and a little salt. Mix together and form 4 large patties or 8 mini patties.
• To a salad bowl add the remaining zest and lemon juice, remaining garlic, chopped anchovies, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire. Whisk in about 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil and cheese. Add lots of black pepper, no salt. Add shredded lettuces to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Now, season the slaw with salt to taste, if necessary.
• Preheat 2 tablespoons, of extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan, in a nonstick skillet over medium to medium high heat. Cook salmon patties 2 to 3 minutes on each side for mini patties, 4 minutes on each side for large patties.
• Serve salmon patties atop Caesar Slaw.

SALMON BURGERS

Steps:

• Mince the salmon on a cutting board then place it into a resealable bag. Using the flat end of a meat tenderizer, mash the salmon until it is finely minced. Place the salmon, egg whites, mustard, dill, breadcrumbs, and salt and pepper to taste into a large bowl and mix until well combined. Form into four patties.
• Heat the olive oil in a large (12-inch) grill pan over medium-high heat. When the grill pan is hot, add the salmon patties and cook for five minutes on each side, without moving so they form a crust. Toast the buns on the grill pan, cut sides down.
• To serve, place the cooked salmon burgers on the toasted buns with the Simplest Coleslaw on top of the burger.
• Place the cabbage, mayonnaise, water, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl and mix well.
