Ingredients

Salmon Burgers:

1 pound salmon
1 green onion, finely chopped
1/3 cup breadcrumbs
1 egg
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1/2 lemon, juiced
Salt
Black pepper

Dill Sauce:

1/3 cup plain yogurt or Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 teaspoon dried dill
1/2 clove garlic, grated (optional)
1/2 lemon, juiced
Salt
Black pepper

To Serve:

4 brioche buns
1/2 English cucumber, sliced into ribbons
2 cups watercress or arugula

Instructions

Remove the skin from the salmon and cut it into large cubes or chunks. In a food processor or on a cutting board with a large knife, pulse or chop the salmon very finely until it looks like ground meat. Be careful not to over-blend it, you want the pieces to be small, but you still want some chunks of salmon in there.
Transfer salmon mixture to a large bowl, add green onion, breadcrumbs, egg, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and parsley, and using a spoon or spatula, mix until well combined.
Once mixed, divide the salmon mixture into 4 equal-sized burger patties, and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, add salmon burgers to the grill, and cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown.
While the burgers are cooking, make the dill sauce; in a small bowl, combine the yogurt, mayonnaise, dill, garlic, and lemon juice and whisk to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste and set aside.
If you’d like to toast the burger buns, add the buns to the grill for 1 minute or until golden brown, or place them in the oven on broil for 1-2 minutes until golden.
Once cooked, remove the patties from the grill and assemble the burgers. Spread a spoonful of the dill yogurt sauce on the bottom of a brioche bun, top with a salmon burger patty, sliced cucumber, and a handful of watercress or arugula.
The burgers can be served immediately, and any leftover salmon burger patties can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days or freezer for up to 3 months.
