INGREDIENTS

for the salmon patty

250g salmon, skin removed
1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
1 clove garlic, crushed

1 tsp ginger
¼ cup spring onion, chopped  
¼ cup toasted sesame seeds
2 large eggs
1 Tbsp flour

3 Tbsp canola or olive oil 

 for the burger:

4 brioche buns, toasted
Lettuce leaves
Sliced cucumber
Pickled red onions

1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tbsp sriracha
 
METHOD

Rinse salmon, pat dry and cut into ¼ inch cubes. 

In a large bowl, combine salmon, 2 tablespoons oil, vinegar, ginger, garlic, spring onion, sesame oil, sesame seeds, and eggs.

Stir flour into mixture until it thickens.

Form mixture into 6 round patties.

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

Cook patties for 4-6 minutes per side, until golden brown.

Transfer patties onto a plate lined with paper towels to soak up excess oil and serve hot.

To assemble the burger, mix siracha and mayonnaise together in a small bowl.

Spread the sriracha mayo on the bottom half of each toasted brioche bun.

Add a lettuce leaf, a slice or two of cucumber, and a salmon patty.

Top with pickled red onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds, then finish with the top bun.
