Delicious grilled salmon burgers topped with fresh avocado salsa, perfect for a delightful meal.
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 green onions, chopped
- 1 ripe avocado, diced
- 1 medium tomato, diced
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 4 whole wheat burger buns
- Olive oil for grilling
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- In a food processor, pulse the salmon fillets until coarsely chopped. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
- Add breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and green onions to the salmon. Mix until well combined.
- Form the mixture into four equal patties. Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to help them hold their shape while grilling.
- While the patties chill, prepare the avocado salsa by combining diced avocado, tomato, cilantro, and lime juice in a bowl. Gently mix and set aside.
- Brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking. Grill the salmon patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and slightly charred.
- Toast the burger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Assemble the burgers by placing a salmon patty on each bun and topping with avocado salsa.
Notes
- For added flavor, mix in some chopped fresh herbs like dill or parsley into the salmon mixture.
- Substitute the whole wheat buns with lettuce wraps for a low-carb option.
