Ingredients

Asian Salmon Burgers:

• 1 lb. salmon fillet, skin and pin bones removed, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 Tbsp. peeled, minced fresh ginger
• 1-1/2 Tbsp. minced garlic
• 2 green onions, including 2 inches of green tops, very thinly sliced
• 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 tsp. kosher or sea salt
• 1-1/2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
• 2 Tbsp. soy sauce
• 1/2 cup cracker meal
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
• 4 slices Sargento® Deli Style Sliced Provolone Cheese
• 4 sesame seed hamburger buns, split and toasted
• Lettuce leaves or baby spinach leaves

Green Onion and Soy Sauce Mayonnaise:

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1 green onion, including green tops, very thinly sliced
• 1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
• 2 tsp. soy sauce

Directions

• For salmon burgers, in a food processor fitted with the metal blade, pulse the salmon until coarsely ground, scraping down the sides of the work bowl once or twice. (Be careful; it’s easy to go from chopped to a mashed paste in seconds!) Transfer the salmon to a medium bowl. Add the ginger, garlic, green onions, cilantro, salt, lemon juice and soy sauce. Using a rubber spatula, mix to combine. Mix in the cracker meal; add the eggs. Stir to combine.

• Dividing the salmon mixture evenly; form into four 1-inch-thick patties. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes before cooking. (The patties can be prepared up to 8 hours ahead. Transfer to a covered container and refrigerate.)

• In a large, heavy skillet, preferably cast-iron, heat the oil over medium-high heat and swirl to coat the pan. (You can also use a grill pan.) Add the salmon patties and cook until golden brown on one side, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook until opaque throughout and golden brown on the other side, about 3 minutes longer. Top each burger with a slice of cheese. Serve the salmon burgers on the toasted buns with the lettuce and Green Onion and Soy Sauce Mayonnaise.

• For the Green Onion and Soy Sauce Mayonnaise, in a small bowl mix the mayonnaise, green onion, lemon juice and soy sauce until well blended. Cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day.
