Ingredients
Patties
- 2 5 oz. cans salmon (10 oz. total)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- handful cilantro, chopped (about 1/3 cup)
- 1/2 red onion, chopped
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1/2 lime, juiced
- salt and pepper to taste
- olive oil spray for cooking
Topping
- 1 avocado
- 1/2 lime, juiced
- couple pinches salt
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the salmon, garlic, cilantro, onion, eggs, mustard, lime, salt and pepper.
- Mix every together until well combined and allow to sit for 3-5 minutes.
- Spray your grill pan with olive oil, and heat it over medium-high.
- Grab a fistful of the salmon mixture and form a firm ball.
- Place the ball in the pan and allow to cook for one minute before pressing it down with the backside of your spatula to form a burger.
- Cook another 2 minutes, or until the bottom side is golden-brown.
- Gently flip and cook the other side for 2 – 3 minutes.
- I made smaller burgers (or sliders) so they could all cook together in the same pan.
- While they’re cooking, mash an avocado in a bowl with juice from the other half of the lime and a couple pinches of sea salt.
- Top each burger with a scoop of avocado and any extra chopped onion. Serve immediately!
