How to Make Salmon Burger

  1. Boil 1 medium russet potato until tender. Mash thoroughly.
  2. In a large bowl, flake 1 pound cooked salmon (about 2 salmon filets). Add the mashed potato, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, and 1 clove minced garlic. Gently mix until combined.
  3. Form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties, about ½ inch thick.
  4. Sprinkle one side of each patty generously with freshly cracked black pepper.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Grill the salmon patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and slightly browned.
  6. While the patties grill, prepare the Asian slaw: Shred 1 cup of green cabbage thinly.
  7. To assemble the burgers, place the cooked patties on whole-wheat buns. Top with the Asian slaw and a generous drizzle of Asian sauce (recipe below).
  8. **Asian Sauce:** In a small bowl, whisk together ¼ cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon honey, and ½ teaspoon grated ginger.
