Step by Step Method

Step 1

Put half of the salmon in a food processor and pulse until it’s coarsely chopped. Transfer to a medium bowl. Chop the remaining salmon in the same manner, and add to the bowl. Fold in the shallot, capers, mustard, and 3/4 tsp. each salt and pepper. Form into 5 about 3/4-inch-thick patties, set on a large oiled plate and cover, and refrigerate until ready to cook (up to 6 hours).

Step 2

Meanwhile, make the tartar sauce. In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise with the relish, garlic, dill, lemon juice, and 1/4 tsp. each salt and pepper. Taste and add more lemon juice, salt, and pepper if needed. The sauce will keep for up to one day in the refrigerator.

Step 3

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it’s shimmering. Add the salmon burgers (straight from the refrigerator; the cold temperature will help them hold together), reduce the heat to medium, and cook without touching until they brown at the edges, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook the other sides until they, too, are browned and the burgers are just a little pink in the center (check by slicing into a thicker part of one of the burgers with a paring knife), about 3 to 4 more minutes.

Step 4

Put the spinach, onion, and 2 tomato slices on each of the buns; top with the burgers and a dollop of the tartar sauce; add the top of the bun and serve.

I made this recipe as directed except for using romaine lettuce instead of spinach and it turned out perfectly delicious.

Tasty, delicious burger. I didn't make your tartar sauce as I had some alrady made. My butcher now has fresh ground salmon so I could miss the first step. Seasoning is just right. This burger will be made again and next time with your tartar sauce.
