Source: Found on Pinterest

These are so tasty, healthy and makes a pretty presentation.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. wild Alaskan Sockeye Salmon (see note)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • ¼ c. red pepper, diced
  • ¼ c. yellow pepper, diced
  • ½ c. panko
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1-1/2 t. low sodium Kikkoman soy sauce
  • 1 t. fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ t. kosher salt
  • 4 c. spring green mix
  • 2 medium avocados, sliced

Sriracha Mayo

  • 3 Tbls. light mayo with olive oil (Hellman's)
  • 1 Tbls. sriracha sauce

Instructions

Sauce: To make the sauce, combine mayo and sriracha sauce; refrigerate until needed.

Remove the skin from the salmon. Cut off about a 4 oz. piece and place in a mini food processor to finely chop. This will help hold the burgers together. With a knife, finely chop the remaining salmon.

In a medium bowl, combine the salmon with the peppers, panko and garlic.

In a small bowl, combine the egg, soy sauce, lemon juice and salt; add to salmon mixture, tossing gently to combine.

Form mixture into 4 patties and refrigerate several hours; helps them become firm and hold together during cooking.

Lightly coat a grill pan or skillet with a little canola oil. Place over medium-high heat until hot. Add the salmon patties and cook 4-5 minutes per side or until cooked through.

For each serving, place 1 cup of mixed greens on a plate, top with salmon burger, 1 tablespoon of sriracha mayo and avocado slices.

Serves 4

NOTE: I used (2) 10 oz. pkgs. Orka Bay Wild Alaskan Salmon. Removing the skin from the salmon works better while partially frozen. I assemble in the morning and refrigerate all day.
