Healthy Salmon Burgers GF/DF
For the Patties:
2 teaspoons dried dill, weed
1 fillet salmon
1 pinch sea salt
1 pinch ground pepper
2 teaspoons ground flaxseed
2 teaspoons hemp hearts, (optional)
2 teaspoons lemon zest
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon mayonnaise, (optional)
1 teaspoon thyme, dried or fresh
2 teaspoons fresh parsley, dried or fresh
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, (more if you like things spicier)
2 tablespoons crushed up cornflakes, organic and sugar free
2 teaspoons capers
1/2 shallot, minced
1 clove clove garlic, large and minced
1/2 teaspoon grated ginger
For the Sauce:
1 teaspoon dijon
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 pinch salt
1 pinch pepper
1 small pickle, minced
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon fresh parsley, fresh and minced
1 teaspoon dill, fresh and minced (optional)
How To Prepare
1.Preheat oven to 350F
2.If you have a food processor, you can literally throw all of the patty ingredients into it, including the salmon fillet, and process until sticky but still a bit chunky.
3.If you do not have a food processor, mince up garlic and shallot and grate ginger into a mixing bowl.
4.Crush the organic cornflakes in a bag and add to the bowl. Dice up the salmon as finely as you’d like. I prefer mine to remain a bit chunky.
5.Add remaining ingredients into the mixing bowl as well and mash it all together with your hands and then form patties.
6.Heat a skillet (I prefer cast iron but not absolutely necessary) on medium heat and add a bit of avocado or olive oil to it. Once hot, add the patties and sear for about 3-4 minutes per side until browned. Put skillet into the oven and let cook for about 15 minutes. If using a regular frying pan for the searing, transfer onto a baking pan or sheet and then the oven.
7.While the patties are in the oven, whisk together all the ingredients for the sauce.
8.Put sauce on either side of a bun of your choice and add the patties once cooked with toppings of choice. I like to do sliced tomato and cucumber and greens on mine! Can also simply be served on rice or a salad for some delicious protein.
