  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon or lime juice​sweatnet.com+2foodyhealthylife.com+2laughingspatula.com+2
  • ½ teaspoon salt​sweatnet.com+1laughingspatula.com+1
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper​
  • Olive oil, for grilling​
  • 4 burger buns (optional)​

For the Avocado Salsa:

  • 1 large ripe avocado, peeled, pitted, and diced​
  • ½ poblano pepper, seeded and chopped​
  • 2 green onions, chopped​
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon or lime juice​
  • ¼ teaspoon salt​
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper​

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Salmon Patties:

    • Finely chop the salmon fillet or pulse in a food processor until coarsely ground, ensuring some texture remains.​
    • In a large bowl, combine the chopped salmon, panko breadcrumbs, beaten egg, green onions, chopped poblano pepper, lemon or lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.​
    • Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty.​

  2. Grill the Salmon Patties:

    • Preheat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan over medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.​
    • Place the salmon patties on the grill and cook for about 4 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and nicely charred.​foodyhealthylife.com

  3. Prepare the Avocado Salsa:

    • In a medium bowl, gently combine the diced avocado, chopped poblano pepper, green onions, lemon or lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Toss lightly to mix without mashing the avocado too much.​

  4. Assemble the Burgers:

    • If using buns, lightly toast them on the grill for about 1 minute.​
    • Place each salmon patty on the bottom half of a bun (or on a bed of lettuce for a low-carb option).​
    • Top each patty with a generous spoonful of the avocado salsa.​
    • Cover with the top half of the bun and serve immediately.​

Notes

  • Poblano Pepper: Poblano peppers add a mild heat and rich flavor. Removing seeds and veins reduces the heat. For a milder taste, substitute with bell pepper.​
  • Binder Alternatives: If following a gluten-free, Paleo, or Whole30 diet, substitute panko breadcrumbs with almond flour, whole oatmeal (not quick-cook), cooked quinoa, or couscous.​
  • Cooking Method: If a grill is not available, these salmon burgers can also be cooked in a skillet over medium heat with a bit of oil.​
