Salmon Burgers - TLS Recipe
1 lb wild salmon fillet, skinned
2 Tbsp finely chopped red onion or scallion
2 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
1/8 tsp freshly ground pepper
1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil or canola oil
4 Tbsp Green Goddess Sauce
Green Goddess Sauce - 1g Carbs, 0g Fiber
Here’s my approach to tartar sauce as a side for any fish or combine it with chunk light tuna as the base of a
tuna salad.
Makes: A little over a cup
3/4 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream
4 anchovy fillets, rinsed and chopped
3 Tbsp chopped fresh chives
2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 Tbsp capers, rinsed
2 tsp freshly grated lemon zest
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
1/8 tsp salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
Combine mayonnaise, sour cream, anchovies, chives, parsley, capers, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a
food processor and pulse to combine.
Directions
MAKE AHEAD TIP: Prepare your salmon, cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours. With a large knife, chop salmon using
quick, even, straight-up-and-down motions (do not rock the knife through the fish or it will turn mushy) until you
have a mass of roughly 1/4-inch pieces. Transfer to large bowl and gently stir in onion (or scallion), cilantro, salt and
pepper, being careful not to overmix. Divide the mixture into 4 patties, about 1 inch thick. Chill in the refrigerator for
at least 20 minutes (or up to 2 hours) before cooking. Heat oil (recipe calls for oil, I use the spray stuff at a lower heat)
in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the burgers and cook until browned on both sides and just cooked
through, 4 to 6 minutes total. Serve with 1 tablespoon Green Goddess Sauce each. TIP: I use the prepackaged frozen
salmon steaks. They’re simpler to chop and prepare. If you prefer using the fresh type, by all means do!
