Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons wasabi powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon honey
  • 1 pound salmon fillet
  • 2 scallions
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons minced peeled fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

Cooking Instructions

1. Whisk soy sauce, wasabi powder and honey in a small bowl until smooth. Set aside.

2. With a large chef's knife, chop salmon using quick, even, straight-up-and-down motions (do not rock the knife through the fish or it will turn mushy). Continue chopping, rotating the knife, until you have a mass of roughly 1/4-inch pieces. Transfer to a large bowl. Add scallions, egg, ginger and oil; stir to combine. Form the mixture into 4 patties. The mixture will be moist and loose, but holds together nicely once the first side is cooked.

3. Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat for 1 minute. Add the patties and cook for 4 minutes. Turn and continue to cook until firm and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Spoon the reserved wasabi glaze evenly over the burgers and cook for 15 seconds more. Serve immediately.

great Japanese flavor

this was a great recipe, we just ate it plain, with a mixed salad and lots of yogurt-cucumber sauce. A nice variety to plain grilled sal;mon, I was getting tired of just grilled salmon.

Wasabi Salmon Burgers

Question: Do you keep the skin on the fillet? What is toasted sesame oil?

stupid people comments

What the heck does all that stupid stuff have to do with a burger. I didn't see where the ingredients called for war and ignorance. Either shut up and get a life. Or leave your stupid opinions to your self. Nuts in this world. The salmon is great by the way. I love it. Ha Ha.

Great!

Hey, I made tis very easily, but did not serve it on buns, just alone. A little crumbly but great flavor.

Wasabi in the salmon

When I first made this, I used canned salmon, this time I tried it with salmon filets, and of course this time was much better, I would probably not make it again, but it was ok for a new recipe. DCXBL42, thanks for the good laugh, and DaveDric, thanks for the education. I made this recipe twice, and my wasabi was not aggressive either time!!

    Bring out the flavors of salmon with a Japanese-inspired infusion of ginger, sesame oil and wasabi. If you serve these patties on whole-wheat buns, consider reduced-fat mayonnaise and sliced cucumbers as condiments. Or skip the buns and set the patties atop a vinegary salad of greens, carrots, radishes and sprouts.
