Salmon Burgers on Zucchini Buns

Zucchini bun pan fried salmon burgers with dipping sauce! You'll want to prepare the burgers at least 2 hours prior to cooking them (OR the night before) in order to refrigerate them. We love this recipe because it's packed with Omega 3 fatty acids and proteins which are incredible for your skin and help it stay young and resilient.

Salmon Burger Ingredients

Serves 4

1 pound wild organic salmon finely chopped.
1.5-2 cups of panko bread crumbs
1 tsp lemon zest
1 minced shallot
1 tsp chopped parsley
1 tsp chopped dill
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground pepper
4 tbsp vegetable oil
2 spiralized zucchinis

Directions

Cut salmon into chunks. In food processor, pulse together salmon, shallots, 1/2 of the bread crumbs, parsley, salt, lemon zest, pepper and dill. Shape into four 3/4-inch (2 cm) thick patties. (Make-ahead: Layer between waxed paper in airtight container and refrigerate for up to 24 hours or 2 hours prior to dinner). Spiralize your zucchinis and shape them into patties.

On a plate place the remaining 1/2 cup of panko. Coat both side of the salmon burgers one by one.

In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil. Add 2 salmon burgers to skillet and cook over moderately high heat, turning once, until crispy and browned but cooked in the center, about 8 minutes.

While salmon cooks, in another skillet place spiralized zucchini patties into hot oil. Sear both sides until crispy. Then put on a plate with paper towel to absorb any extra oil. Wait for salmon burgers which you will place on top of the zucchini.
