Ingredients

Scale

For the Salmon Patties

  • 1 lb fresh skinless, boneless salmon fillets
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 large egg, whisked
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Oil, for pan-frying

For the Miso Slaw

  • 2 cups shredded cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 2 tablespoons white miso paste
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • Pinch of salt

For Assembly

  • 4 brioche buns
  • Optional garnishes: fresh cilantro or chives, avocado slices, sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Salmon Patties: Finely chop the fresh salmon fillets or pulse briefly in a food processor for a chunkier texture. In a bowl, combine salmon, panko breadcrumbs, chopped green onions, lemon juice, whisked egg, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until combined without overworking. Form into evenly sized patties.
  2. Make the Miso Slaw: Shred cabbage and carrots into thin strips. In a separate bowl, whisk together white miso paste, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey or maple syrup, and a pinch of salt. Toss the shredded vegetables in the dressing until evenly coated. Let the slaw sit briefly to meld flavors.
  3. Cook the Salmon Burgers: Heat a little oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook patties for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through but still moist. Remove from heat and let rest for a minute.
  4. Assemble the Salmon Burger with Miso Slaw: Lightly toast brioche buns. Place a salmon patty on the bottom bun, pile generously with miso slaw, and top with the other bun half. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Freshness Matters: Use the freshest salmon possible for moist, flavorful patties.
  • Don’t Overmix: Combine ingredients gently to avoid dense, tough burgers.
  • Chill Patties: Refrigerate patties before cooking to help them hold together better.
  • Adjust Slaw Dressing: Balance miso and vinegar to taste for a perfectly tangy slaw.
  • Use a Light Hand with Oil: Pan-fry with just enough oil to prevent sticking without making patties greasy.
