Ingredients
- 1 pound skinless salmon fillet, finely diced
- 1 tablespoon prepared white horseradish
- 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest, plus 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 3 scallions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons plain dried breadcrumbs
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- 1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
- 4 whole-wheat hamburger buns, split and toasted
- Romaine lettuce, for serving
Directions
-
Heat broiler, with rack set 4 inches from heat. In a medium bowl, combine salmon, horseradish, lemon zest and juice, egg, scallions, breadcrumbs, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper; mix gently with a fork.
-
Form salmon mixture into four 3 1/2-by-1-inch patties; place on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil without turning until browned on top and opaque throughout, 6 to 7 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, combine yogurt and dill in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper. Serve burgers on buns with yogurt-dill sauce and lettuce.
Cook's Note
To finely dice salmon without crushing it, start by thinly slicing the fillet with a sharp knife. Cut the slices lengthwise into strips, then crosswise.
These burgers are great! I just threw the ingredients in the food processor and they were done in no time. We topped them with avocado and some cucumber for crunch. Tasted light and fresh but still very filling. Will definitely make again!
