- 1 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
- 3 green onions, sliced
- 3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 3 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated
- 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 eggs, slightly beaten
- 3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 lemon, juiced

Sriracha Lime Mayo
- 1 cup mayo, (reduced fat ok)
- 1-4 teaspoons Sriracha
- 1 lime, juiced
- 2 tablespoons red onion, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon Redmond Kosher Salt
Instructions
- Place salmon in food processor, cover, and pulse about 5-7 times to coarsely grind. (Do not over-process and turn into paste.) Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine panko, green onions, cilantro, ginger, garlic, eggs, soy sauce, lemon juice, and salt. Add salmon and stir to combine well.
- Line a sheet tray with parchment, wax paper, or nonstick foil. Using a 2/3 C measuring cup, scoop out salmon mixture and form into 1-inch thick patties. Place on tray. Makes 6 patties. Cover with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator for 30 minutes to 6 hours.
- While salmon is firming in the fridge, make the Sriracha Lime Mayo by adding mayo, sriracha, lime juice, red onion, and salt to a small bowl. Stir to combine. Taste and add more sriracha if needed. Cover and place in fridge until ready to serve.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet to medium high. Add olive oil. Place salmon burgers in skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side or until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F.
- Serve with Sriracha Lime Mayo on buns with lettuce and avocado (suggested).
