Salmon burgers with mozzarella and asparagus

Dive into a delicious salmon burger, jazzed up with mozzarella and asparagus sautéed in nutty browned butter. I’m a huge fan of salmon—it’s my top pick when it comes to fish, especially when it stars in an easy yet flavorful burger like this one.

Thinking about fish burgers, I imagine them being tender and full of flavor, with a nice crispy edge and a moist middle. I make sure to chop the salmon really fine and mix it with mozzarella, then coat it in breadcrumbs for that awesome crispy outside. These burgers go on soft, toasted buns, with a creamy sauce, more mozzarella, and asparagus that’s just the right amount of crunchy. Each bite is a mix of soft, juicy, and crunchy, making it a fun and tasty eat.

Salmon patties

  • 10 ounces skinless salmon fillets
  • 1 tbsp chopped chives
  • 1 tbsp chopped dill
  • ½ mozzarella ball
  • salt - to taste
  • black pepper - to taste
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs
  • vegetable oil - for frying

Sauce

  • 3 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp pickled cucumber - diced
  • 1 shallot - diced
  • 1 garlic clove - grated
  • 1 tbsp capers

Instructions 

  • In a bowl, combine all the ingredients for the sauce.

  • Heat oil in a skillet, cook patties over medium heat, 5 minutes per side, flipping from time to time.
  • In the meantime, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add asparagus and cook for 2-3 minutes. Drain.
  • Heat butter in a pan until browned, add asparagus and cook 1 min. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Toast the buns. Spread an even layer of prepared sauce on bottom of each bun. Set a salmon patty on top, add mozzarella and asparagus. Close the buns and serve right away. Eat!
