SALMON
BURGERS WITH TARTAR SAUCE
"Let's do
burgers" has taken a new meaning. Use fresh salmon for this recipe. The burger
patties can be prepared 2 hours in advance.
Serves 6
4 kaiser rolls, or
hamburger buns 1 tablespoon butter, softened 1 pound salmon, boned and
skinned 1/2 cup seeded and diced red bell pepper 1/2 cup seeded and
diced green bell pepper 2 tablespoons chopped green onion 1/4 teaspoon
green tabasco sauce 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped to taste salt,
ground black pepper 1 egg white 1 tablespoon canola oil 2 teaspoon
butter 4 thick slices large tomatoes 1/2 cup tartar sauce 2 cups
cole slaw
PREPARATION
Preheat the broiler. Lightly brush bread with butter. Broil on both sides
for about 2 minutes. Set aside. To prepare the salmon burger mixture:
Cube the boneless and skinless salmon. Chop finely on a cutting board. In a
large bowl, combine the salmon with the red and green peppers, green onion,
tabasco, salt and pepper to taste. Beat the egg white with a wire whisk until
soft peaks form. Fold into the salmon mixture. Divide into 4 equal
portions, shape into patties 3/4-inch thick and 4 inches in diameter.
Refrigerate the patties on a tray until ready to use. When chilled they
hold together better. Preheat a large nonstick skillet on the stove over
medium heat until hot. Brush the salmon burgers with canola oil on both
sides, and carefully place in the skillet. Cook until browned, 3 to 5 minutes.
Turn and continue cooking the burgers until they are browned and just cooked
through. PRESENTATION Arrange each salmon burger on a bun. Top with a
slice of tomato, one heaping tablespoon of tartar sauce, 1/4 cup mixed green
salad and finish with another piece of bread.
