Wasabi Salmon Burgers

(3)
  • Number of Servings: 4
Ingredients
2 Tbs reduced-sodium soy sauce1.5 teaspoons wasabi powder0.5 teaspoon honey1 pound salmon fillet, skinned2 scallions, finely chopped1 egg, lightly beaten2 Tbs minced peeled fresh ginger1 tsp toasted sesame oil
Directions
1. Whisk soy sauce, wasabi powder and honey in a small bowl until smooth. Set aside.
2. With a large chef's knife, chop salmon using quick, even, straight-up-and-down motions (do not rock the knife through the fish or it will turn mushy). Continue chopping, rotating the knife, until you have a mass of roughly 1/4-inch pieces. Transfer to a large bowl. Add scallions, egg, ginger and oil; stir to combine. Form the mixture into 4 patties. The mixture will be moist and loose, but holds together nicely once the first side is cooked.
3. Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat for 1 minute. Add the patties and cook for 4 minutes. Turn and continue to cook until firm and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Spoon the reserved wasabi glaze evenly over the burgers and cook for 15 seconds more. Serve immediately.

    This calorie count can't be right. The recipe calls for a pound of salmon and says it makes 4 servings. There is no way 4 ounces of salmon has only 110 calories so you have to add about 80 calories per burger to this calorie count.

    I found this on eatingwell.com and made it for a lunch get-together. Everyone loved it! The salmon was fresh tasting and not overpowered by the other ingredients. I served it with an asian broccoli slaw. Yum yum! I will definitely make it again. - 3/26/11
