Sweet Chili Salmon Burger
A salmon patty glazed with sweet chili sauce is the centerpiece of this fast, flavorful burger that comes together in under 30 minutes. The sauce balances heat and sweetness against the richness of the fish, and the whole thing stacks easily into a toasted bun with crisp toppings. It's a straightforward weeknight alternative to a standard beef burger.
Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Non-stick Pan
- Spatula
- Measuring Cup
- Zester
Ingredients
- 1 pound salmon fillet skinless, finely chopped
- ¼ cup panko breadcrumbs Japanese-style
- 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce low sodium preferred
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger finely grated
- 1 large egg
- 4 pieces burger buns toasted
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 4 pieces avocado sliced
- 1 medium lime cut into wedges for serving
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped salmon, panko breadcrumbs, sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, grated ginger, and egg. Mix until well combined.
- Shape the mixture into four equal-sized patties.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the salmon patties, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
- While the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns until golden.
- Assemble each burger by placing a salmon patty onto the bun, layering with a lettuce leaf, avocado slice, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For an extra kick, add a pinch of chili flakes to the salmon mixture.
- For gluten-free alternatives, use gluten-free panko or leave breadcrumbs out entirely for a leaner patty.
- To enhance the flavor, marinate the salmon mixture in the fridge for an hour before cooking.
