Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb fresh salmon, skin and bones removed
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1/3 cup almond flour
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha, plus to taste
  • 8 butter lettuce leaves
  • 1/2 cucumber, sliced
  • 1 avocado, sliced

Method
 

  1. Cut 1 pound of fresh salmon into chunks and pulse in a food processor 4-5 times until coarsely chopped (not pureed).
  2. Transfer to a large bowl and add 1 beaten egg, ⅓ cup of almond flour, 1 tablespoon of grated fresh ginger, 2 cloves of minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh cilantro, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce (or coconut aminos), ¼ teaspoon of salt, and ¼ teaspoon of black pepper.
  3. Mix gently with your hands until just combined.
  4. Form the mixture into 4 equal patties, about ¾-inch thick.
  5. Place the patties on a plate, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  6. Heat 2 tablespoons of avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  7. Carefully add the salmon patties and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 160°F).
  8. Don't flip too early or they may fall apart—let them develop a good crust first.
  9. While burgers cook, make sriracha mayo: mix ½ cup of mayonnaise with 1-2 tablespoons of sriracha (adjust to taste).
  10. Serve the burgers on butter lettuce "buns" topped with sriracha mayo, sliced cucumber, avocado, and extra cilantro.
  11. Serve promptly.
