Easy Salmon Smash Burgers

Ingredients

    blank

    blank

    • Butter, for cooking

    • Brioche buns

    • 1 sweet onion, sliced

    • 4 slices provolone cheese

    • Sliced tomato

    • Leaf lettuce, washed

    • Spicy Mayo

    Directions

    1. Thaw coho salmon meat.

    2. Add the salmon meat to a bowl and season with your favorite all purpose seasoning, salt, and pepper. Whisk one egg and mix it into salmon until combined. Form into 8, 2 ounce balls.

    3. Before cooking the patties, caramelize the onion by chopping it and sautéing in butter until golden and soft.

    4. Heat butter in a cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.

    5. Place a ball of salmon meat on the hot griddle. Place a piece of parchment paper on top. Use a sturdy spatula (or a burger press, if you have one) to firmly smash the ball into a thin patty, about 1/4 inch thick. 

    6. Cook the patties for 1-2 minutes until the edges are crispy and browned. Flip the patties and immediately place a slice of cheese on one and caramelized onions on the other. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and the patty is cooked to your desired doneness.

    7. Toast the burger buns on the griddle for a few seconds. Place two cooked patties on the bottom bun, then add sliced tomato, leaf lettuce, and a drizzle of spicy mayo, and top with the other half of the bun.

    8. Serve the smash burgers hot with your favorite sides, like fries or a salad.

    9. Enjoy!
