Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb fresh salmon fillets, skin removed and chopped finely
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 small shallot, finely minced
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning or seafood seasoning blend
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Olive oil or avocado oil for frying
  • 2 cups shredded green cabbage
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 soft burger buns (potato buns or brioche)
  • Optional: sliced avocado, lettuce leaves, or tomato slices

Instructions

  1. Finely chop the salmon fillets into small chunks about 1/4-inch pieces.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine chopped salmon, panko breadcrumbs, egg, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, minced shallot, lemon zest, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Fold gently until just combined.
  3. Divide mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a round patty about 3/4 inch thick. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up.
  4. Combine shredded cabbage and carrots in a bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk mayonnaise, sriracha, honey, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Pour dressing over cabbage mixture and toss to coat. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  5. Heat 2 tablespoons olive or avocado oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook patties 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 145°F).
  6. Lightly toast burger buns in the skillet or toaster if desired.
  7. Assemble burgers by spreading spicy sriracha slaw on bottom bun, adding salmon patty, topping with optional avocado or lettuce, and capping with top bun. Serve immediately.

Notes

Do not overmix the salmon mixture to avoid a dense texture. Chill patties before cooking to help them hold shape and create a better crust. Use medium heat to prevent burning. Adjust sriracha in slaw to taste. For gluten-free, substitute panko with gluten-free breadcrumbs or crushed rice crackers. For dairy-free, use vegan mayonnaise.
