Tired of using ground beef for your burgers this summer? Give the patty a twist with our salmon burgers. Glazed with a sweet and salty teriyaki sauce, the Ponzu mayo perfectly complements this Asian inspired dish with a splash of bright citrusy tanginess. Deliciously healthy and packed with Omega 3’s, this dish is perfect for a quick and easy home cooked lunch or as another addition to your weekend barbecue.
Note: This recipe is adaptable to cooking on a grill. Just brush the salmon burgers with a little oil and place on your grill grates on direct heat.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup Kewpie mayo (Japanese mayonnaise)
- 1 Tablespoon Ponzu
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill
- 4 Butcher Box Salmon burgers slightly thawed
- 1 pineapple peeled, cored and sliced into rings
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
- 4 burger buns
- Greenleaf lettuce
- Hothouse tomatoes sliced
- Cucumbers Sliced
Instructions
- Mix the Kewpie, ponzu, soy and dill in a small bowl. Whisk all ingredients to combine. Set aside in the refrigerator.
- Heat a griddle over medium-high heat on your stovetop. Drizzle a little bit of vegetable oil and sear the pineapple rings for a minute or two on each side until some browning is achieved. The browning willl help release the sugars. Set aside on a plate when done.
- Add a little more vegetable oil to the pan. Cook the salmon burgers for about 4 minutes on each side.
- Brush teriyaki sauce on top of the salmon burger and turn once. Brush the top again and transfer the burgers to a wire rack.
- Briefly toast the buns on the griddle.
- Assemble the burgers by layering in this order: toasted bun bottom, lettuce, tomato, cucumbers, seared pineapple, teriyaki salmon burger, a dollop of ponzu mayo and the toasted burger top.
- Serve and enjoy!
