Ingredients

Scale

  • 20 oz. salmon filet, skinned and deboned (cut into cubes)
  • 1/4 cup almond meal (or almond flour)
  • 3 tablespoons finely diced shallots
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Lemon Garlic Aioli

  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise (I used Dukes for low carb)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon course ground mustard
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic clove
  • salt & pepper

Instructions

Salmon Burgers

  1. Add cubes salmon, almond meal, shallots, garlic, dijon mustard, dill, lemon zest and and black pepper into a food processor or blender.
  2. Pulse the mixture and scrape down sides as needed with a spatula until the salmon is a coarsely ground. You want some small chunks, not a puree.
  3. Transfer the salmon mixture to a medium bowl and evenly divide into 4 burger patties. (about ½ – 1 inch thick) Grill right away or place patties on a plate and cover. Refrigerate until ready to grill.
  4. Heat grill to medium-high heat, approximated 375-400 degrees F. Thoroughly clean grates with a grill brush and oil!
  5. Place burgers on the grill and grill for 4 minutes covered, gently flip and cook 3 to 4 more minutes covered. The internal temperature should be about 130°F. You definitely don’t want to overcook these, they will be very dry. So follow the times. 🙂
  6. Once to temperature remove salmon burgers from the grill.
  7. optional: toast the burger buns until warm and slightly charred

Lemon Garlic Aioli

  1. Add lemon garlic aioli ingredients to a small bowl, mix to combine.
