With wild salmon on sale and so fresh, I picked up two pounds and decided to make salmon burgers. I really enjoy these burgers topped with a simple chimichurri sauce. These salmon burgers are great on top of a big salad, but I go a little crazy sometimes when I buy zucchini so this time my salmon burger was served on top of zucchini noodles.
Salmon Burgers
Makes 8-10 burgers, or 20 sliders
2 pounds salmon, but into 1-2 inch pieces
1 lime, zested
½ lime, juiced
1 C cilantro
1 red bell pepper, roughly chopped
½ C chopped green onions
¼ C ginger juice
1 t salt
1 t black pepper
Directions
Put all ingredients in a food processor and pulse until combined.
Form into patties.
You can wrap them at this point and freeze. I wrap each burger in plastic wrap then put in freezer Ziplock bags.
To cook burgers, heat large skillet over medium high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of your preferred oil or ghee and cook 3-4 minutes per side until nicely browned.
You can also freeze or refrigerate any leftovers.
Simple Chimichurri Sauce
1 C cilantro
½ C chopped scallions
½ lime, zested and juiced
Pinch of salt
Pinch of red pepper flakes
2-3 T EVOO
Directions
Put everything in the food processor except for the EVOO. Pulse until finely chopped. Add EVOO and stir. Adjust salt as needed.
