Description
Grilled Salmon Burgers with Avocado Salsa are a delightful and healthy meal option, combining fresh salmon with a zesty avocado salsa.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh salmon fillets, skin removed
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 4 whole wheat hamburger buns
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1 small tomato, diced
- 1/4 red onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- In a food processor, add the salmon fillets and pulse until finely chopped but not pureed.
- In a large bowl, combine the chopped salmon, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and parsley. Mix until well combined.
- Form the mixture into 4 equal patties, about 3/4 inch thick.
- Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the salmon patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and slightly charred.
- While the burgers are grilling, prepare the avocado salsa by combining the diced avocado, tomato, red onion, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Gently mix to combine.
- Toast the hamburger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.
- Assemble the burgers by placing each salmon patty on a bun and topping with the avocado salsa. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider mixing in some chopped capers or dill into the salmon mixture.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños to the avocado salsa or top the burgers with your favorite hot sauce.
