How to Make Asian Salmon Burgers

  1. Prepare all ingredients.
  2. Combine 1 pound salmon fillet (skin removed and roughly chopped), 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs, 1 large egg, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 2 scallions (finely chopped), and 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger in a food processor.
  3. Pulse until the mixture is coarsely chopped but still holds its texture; do not over-process.
  4. Gently form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties.
  5. Sprinkle the tops of the patties generously with sesame seeds.
  6. Heat a large nonstick skillet or frying pan over medium heat and coat with cooking spray.
  7. Place the patties in the pan, sesame-seed-side down.
  8. Cook for 5 minutes, undisturbed.
  9. Carefully flip the patties and cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the patties are golden brown.
  10. While the burgers cook, prepare your buns and toppings.
  11. Serve the Asian Salmon Burgers immediately on toasted buns. Top with a handful of fresh spinach and 2 tablespoons of pickled ginger per burger.
