Sometimes we go for the full version with the bun, but we just pair it with a green salad on the side and some homemade hummus, a healthy and delicious dinner.
Zucchini-Salmon Burger
Ingredients
- ½ medium zucchini
- 1 pound salmon fillets divided to ½ pound, skin removed & cubed
- 3 stalks spring onions minced
- ½ medium red onion minced
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ cup mint leaves, fresh
- ¼ cup dill fresh
- 1 pinch salt
- 3 tablespoons bread crumbs
- 1 large egg beaten
- ½ cup hummus
Instructions
- Grate the zucchini and leave it in a bowl with a pinch of salt for 5 minutes. Then squeeze out the excess liquid, use a strainer if it’s still very wet.
- Add the grated zucchini, salmon cubes, spring onions, red onion, cumin, mint, dill and a pinch of salt to a bowl and mix gently.
- Add in the bread crumbs and the beaten egg, stir to combine until well-mixed. The mixture will be a bit sticky, but that’s fine.
- Divide the mixture into 4 balls, then press and mould them firmly with your hands. Place them on a plate with parchment paper.
- Lightly heat a nonstick pan over medium heat with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the salmon burgers and cook 3 to 4 minutes per side or until brown and crisp outside.
- Serve the burgers on your favourite buns or with a bit of salad and top it with some hummus.
