Salmon Gulf Burgers Recipe onhealthfood
- 1 1/2-2 lbs. fresh salmon, skin removed
- 1 egg white
- 1/4 cup whole wheat bread crumbs
- 2 cloves garlic 1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 1 pack of whole wheat or whole grain hamburger buns
- Slices of red onion
- Fresh arugula
- 1 avocado 1 tsp. chipotle chili powder Salt & pepper 1 lemon
- Cut the raw salmon into small 1/2-inch cubes.
- Put in a food processor and pulse a few times to get into smaller pieces.
- Avoid overprocessing because you dont want it to turn into a paste.
- Put the salmon in a big bowl and add the egg white, bread crumbs, and some salt and pepper.
- Mix together with your hands and form burger patties.
- Heat up your grill or stove-top grill pan to medium heat and drizzle the olive oil on top.
- Cook patties on a for about 4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown.
- As soon as they come off the grill, sprinkle fresh lemon juice (about 1/2 lemon) on top.
- Set aside.
- Mash up the avocado in a bowl and add the chipotle chili powder, a little salt, and a sprinkle of lemon juice.
- Mix well.
- To make each burger, spread the chipotle avocado spread on one side of the hamburger bun and top with a handful of arugula, a few slices of red onion, one of the salmon burgers, and the other half of the bun.
- Serve with a green vegetable, such as broccoli or asparagus.
- Tip 1: If you dont own a food processor, just cut the salmon into smaller pieces.
- The egg and breadcrumbs should do their job of holding the burger together.
- Also, if you dont have a grill or grill pan, you can certainly cook the burger patties in a deep saute pan.
- Tip 2: For the buns, I managed to find sprouted grain buns in the refrigerated section of my health food store.
- Do your best with what your local store has to offer, and remember to look for a list of simple ingredients.
- Sometimes your best best is the fresh bread in the bakery.
