Рецепт Salmon Burgers with Pickled Onion and Lemon Garlic Mayo
Salmon Burgers with Pickled Onion and Lemon Garlic Mayo

As a child, I always got excited about burgers. Whenever it was burger night during the summer, my parents ceded grill duty to me. Being the budding epicure that I was at the time, I’d practice meticulous grilling techniques, making sure the charcoals burned just the right amount of time to avoid flare-ups. I’d flip the burgers with perfect timing, so they had prominent grill marks, but were never overdone. When everything was off the grill and on the table, I’d quickly inhale two burgers slathered with mayo and mustard and topped with garden fresh tomatoes, lettuce, and onion. Usually, homemade French fries occupied a prominent spot on my crowded plate.
Although I don’t indulge in burgers as frequently as I used to, on the special occasions that I do, I still approach them with the same gusto as that 12-year-old me.
Back in the day, burgers typically followed the same formula…beef patties, white bun, mayo, mustard, ketchup, lettuce, tomato, onion and maybe cheddar cheese. Nowadays, burgers span the spectrum of creativity. Chefs create burgers with lamb, lobster, chicken, turkey, bison, foie gras, vegetables and many other proteins. Frequent toppings include special sauces, sauteed mushrooms or onions, bacon, avocado, chili, and a multitude of different cheeses. I’ve seen Thai, Korean, Mexican, and Middle Eastern inspired burgers.
We eat a lot of salmon year round, and I try my best to not get stuck in a rut with how I prepare it. Today’s post features my whack at a salmon burger. I made the burgers with my favorite salmon flavors, including dill, lemon, and mustard. To make them a little more special, I prepared a lemon garlic mayo and some of my favorite pickled onions.
As summer winds down, put these healthy and delicious burgers on your menu.
