👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
🔹 Step 1: Prepare the Salmon Patty
- Finely chop the salmon fillet until it resembles ground meat.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped salmon, egg, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, chopped red onion, green onion, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, soy sauce, and honey.
- Mix well until evenly combined, then form the mixture into two burger patties.
- Place the patties in the fridge for 15-20 minutes to help them firm up.
🔹 Step 2: Make the Teriyaki Glaze
- In a small saucepan, mix honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and sesame oil.
- Heat over low-medium heat, stirring occasionally.
- In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water and add it to the saucepan.
- Stir until the glaze thickens, then remove from heat and set aside.
🔹 Step 3: Cook the Salmon Patties
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with a little oil.
- Cook the salmon patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked through.
- In the final minute of cooking, brush the patties with the prepared teriyaki glaze.
🔹 Step 4: Assemble the Burger
- Toast the sesame seed buns lightly in a pan or toaster.
- Spread mayonnaise (or sriracha mayo) on the bottom bun.
- Layer with fresh lettuce leaves, the glazed salmon patty, sliced red onions, and cucumbers.
- Drizzle with additional teriyaki glaze if desired.
- Place the top bun over the burger and gently press down.
🌟 Tips for Success
- Chill the patties before cooking to help them hold their shape.
- Don’t overcook the salmon—it should remain moist inside.
