What's For Dinner? v17.50 - Salmon Burgers [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

DHM gave us a recipe for old school salmon patties; mine are upscaled salmon patties with minced fresh salmon and plenty of seasonings, served as sandwiches. Both recipes are from Bon Appetit.

One recipe specifies brioche, the other just says “hamburger buns”. A nearby supermarket has these house-baked “telera” rolls that are my favorite for burgers.

1 pound skinless salmon filet, diced into 1/4” pieces (about 2-¼ cups) 4 green onions, chopped 1 tablespoon drained small capers 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon, or 1 teaspoon dried 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard 1 teaspoon prepared white horseradish ½ teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon pepper Tarragon Mayonnaise (see below) ½ cup dry breadcrumbs 1 tablespoon butter 8 slices brioche loaf or egg bread, toasted 4 large tomato slices 8 radicchio leaves

I forgot to put the green onions in the picture but they’re in the food

Combine first 9 ingredients in a bowl. Add 3 tablespoons Tarragon Mayonnaise and mix well. (Can be made 6 hours ahead, cover and refrigerate).

salmon burger mixture. I enlarged the portion to 5 ounces of salmon.

Mix breadcrumbs into salmon mixture. Form into 4 1-inch thick patties. Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon patties; cook until just firm to the touch and brown and crusty, about 3 minutes per side.

Place one slice of toast on each of 4 plates. Top each with a burger. Spread burgers generously with Tarragon Mayonnaise. Top each with a tomato slice, two radicchio leaves, and a second toast slice, and serve immediately. Serve additional Tarragon Mayonnaise on the side.

Tarragon Mayonnaise

makes 1-½ cups

1 cup mayonnaise (regular or low-fat) ¼ cup plain yogurt 4 green onions, chopped 1 tablespoon drained small capers 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon, or 1 teaspoon dried 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard 2 teaspoons prepared white horseradish

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and chill. Can be made 1 day ahead.

Salmon Burgers with Hoisin and Ginger

for 4

1 pound skinless salmon filet, cut into 1” chunks ¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce 2 tablespoons mayonnaise ¼ cup chopped green onions 2 teaspoons minced peeled fresh ginger 1 clove garlic, minced ¾ teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon ground black pepper 2-½ teaspoons sesame oil 4 large sesame-seed hamburger buns additional hoisin sauce additional mayonnaise 8 butter lettuce leaves

Place salmon, cilantro, hoisin sauce and mayonnaise in food processor, pulse until coarsely ground. Transfer mixture to bowl. Mix in green onions, ginger, garlic, salt, and pepper. Form into 4 1/2-inch thick patties. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours.

Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Saute patties until cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Meanwhile, toast hamburger buns. Spread bottom halves of buns with additional hoisin sauce and top halves with additional mayonnaise. Place finished burgers on bottom halves of buns, top each with two lettuce leaves and the top half of bun.

Both recipes are shown as published. Personally I prefer mincing the salmon by hand rather than ending up with fish goo if I process too long. Of course I’m only mincing ¼ of the recipe to make myself one sandwich.

I did edit the reference in the second recipe to “oriental” sesame oil. That word has generally gone out of fashion and is a rather unwelcome flashback to the nineties. Also, is there any other kind of sesame oil? I’ve never seen “European” sesame oil.

What’s for dinner at your place?
