Wild Alaska Coho salmon mixed with panko, pico de gallo, jalapeño and taco seasoning, formed into four patties and pan-fried or grilled for burgers.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Wild Alaska Coho Salmon Meat
  • ¼ cup panko bread crumbs
  • ¼ cup pico de gallo
  • 2 tbsp taco or fajita seasoning
  • 1 jalapeno, diced
  • ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese or mexican blend cheese
  • salt & pepper
  • olive oil for frying

Toppings:

  • hamburger buns
  • romaine lettuce
  • sliced tomatoes
  • avocado
  • optional: ranch dressing or ketchup

Directions

  1. Mix salmon with panko breadcrumbs, pico de gallo, jalapeño, cheddar cheese, taco seasoning, salt, and pepper.

  2. Form the mixture into 4 burger shapes, about ¾ inch thick and place in the refrigerator for 15- 30 minutes to firm up the texture (or up to 24 hours).

  3. When ready to cook, preheat a skillet with olive oil or another neutral cooking oil at medium heat. You can also follow these steps on the grill.

  4. Add the burgers and pan-fry or grill for 4-5 minutes on each side.

  5. While the burgers cook, prepare the buns, sliced lettuce, tomatoes, and avocado. Optional: add ranch dressing to the bun and/or serve with ketchup and mustard.
