Wasabi Salmon Burgers
- 2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
- 1 12 teaspoons wasabi powder (see Note)
- 12 teaspoon honey
- 1 lb salmon fillet, skinned (see Tip)
- 2 scallions, finely chopped
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons minced peeled fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- With a large chef's knife, chop salmon using quick, even, straight-up-and-down motions (do not rock the knife through the fish or it will turn mushy).
- Continue chopping, rotating the knife, until you have a mass of roughly 1/4-inch pieces.
- Transfer to a large bowl.
- Add scallions, egg, ginger and oil; stir to combine.
- Form the mixture into 4 patties.
- The mixture will be moist and loose, but holds together nicely once the first side is cooked.
- Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat for 1 minute.
- Add the patties and cook for 4 minutes.
- Turn and continue to cook until firm and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
- Spoon the reserved wasabi glaze evenly over the burgers and cook for 15 seconds more.
- Serve immediately.
- Ingredient note: Wasabi powder, when mixed with water, becomes the green paste most of us know from sushi restaurants.
- The powder is available in jars in the Asian aisle of most supermarkets or in almost all Asian markets.
- Store at room temperature for up to 1 year.To skin a salmon fillet: Place it on a clean cutting board, skin side down.
- Starting at the tail end, slip the blade of a long, sharp knife between the fish flesh and the skin, holding the skin down firmly with your other hand.
- Gently push the blade along at a 30 degree angle, separating the fillet from the skin without cutting through either.
- Or have your fishmonger do it for you.
- 4 servings 30 minutes.
