Ingredients
Salmon patties
- 10 ounces 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
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp chives chopped
- salt to taste

For serving
- 2 buns
- ½ mozzarella ball sliced
- 3.5 ounces asparagus
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine all the ingredients for the sauce.
- Add breadcrumbs to a shallow dish, set aside. Cut the salmon and mozzarella very finely by hand (don’t pulse in a food processor, ensuring you don’t over-mix the fish). Add chives and dill, season with salt and pepper. Form two patties, press each side gently into the breadcrumbs.
- 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!
