Ingredients
blank
1 lb Wild Alaska Coho Salmon Meat
2 Tbsp All Purpose Seasoning
1 egg
Salt & pepper
blank
Butter, for cooking
Brioche buns
1 sweet onion, sliced
4 slices provolone cheese
Sliced tomato
Leaf lettuce, washed
Spicy Mayo
Directions
Thaw coho salmon meat.
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.
Before cooking the patties, caramelize the onion by chopping it and sautéing in butter until golden and soft.
Heat butter in a cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
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.
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.
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.
Serve the smash burgers hot with your favorite sides, like fries or a salad.
Enjoy!
