Hands up who doesn’t like a big flavourful burger? Hell yes! I thought so…! Burgers are pretty difficult to resist, aren’t they? But from experience I can tell that a good burger is not only about the taste of the patty but also about the quality and the combination of the extras and condiments.
I’ve been to quite a lot of burger restaurants over the last few years, and I can tell that all the best burgers spoilt my taste buds with genius combinations. Honey, chilli mango chutney or pineapple slices; to only name a few of the ingredients that really made a difference.
Last year at the Christmas Market I had roasted salmon in a sandwich for the first time in my life. As far as I remember this is a typical Scandinavian recipe. I really liked the combination of warm and juicy salmon and a white honey mustard sauce on bread. Convinced at the first bite, I decided to develop a salmon burger recipe.
For this recipe, I chose to include a healthy amount of spiciness, which I achieved through the wasabi mayonnaise, the onions and the arugula salad. In addition I wanted to round these flavours up and went for the avocado. Even though it might seem to lack taste next to all the other flavours, I must tell that it actually was a great decision.
Why you’ll love this recipe?
Whole filet approach: Using a whole piece of salmon instead of shredded fish gives the burger a hearty texture and rich flavour, making it stand out from standard patties.
Gourmet toppings: Creamy avocado, peppery arugula, and crisp shallots add layers of taste and texture, elevating each bite.
Bold, zesty base: The wasabi mayo and fresh cucumbers create a tangy and spicy foundation that perfectly complements the salmon’s natural richness.
A balanced indulgence: Packed with wholesome ingredients and vibrant flavours, this burger is satisfying without feeling heavy.
