I got this from my favorite gourmet recipe website, www.epicurious.com.

As a side note, wild salmon is much lower in fat than farmed salmon, but a bit more expensive.

Salmon Burgers with Spinach and Ginger

Active time: 40 min Start to finish: 45 min

1 lb salmon fillet, skinned
4 oz baby spinach, coarsely chopped (3 cups)
3 scallions, minced
1 tablespoon finely grated peeled fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 large egg white
1 tablespoon soy sauce
Vegetable oil for brushing skillet
2 tablespoons pickled ginger

Cut salmon into 1/4-inch dice, then stir together with spinach, scallions, ginger, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until well combined.

Beat together egg white and soy sauce in a small bowl and stir into salmon mixture, then form into 4 (1/2-inch-thick) patties.

Heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat until hot and lightly brush with oil. Cook patties, carefully turning once, until golden brown and cooked through, 6 to 7 minutes total.

Serve each burger topped with 1 1/2 teaspoons pickled ginger. Cooks' note:
• Patties can be formed 4 hours ahead and chilled on a wax paper–lined baking sheet, then covered with plastic wrap.

Makes 4 servings.

Sounds lovely. Definitely going to give that a try :eat:

excellent recipe, since I didn't have all the ingredients, I improv-ed it though with one 14.5 oz can of salmon, a small yellow onion and about 2 cups of spinach, I also added about a 1/4-1/2 a tsp of curry powder! Great variation on my salmon patties which were simply crackers, salmon and eggs!

Any one have any other recipes for salmon burgers? I have a whole package of them in the freezer. I have managed to choke down one package of four so far, but am avoiding the other package since I cant come up with a quick way to flavor them up before throwing them in the broiler or on the grill. Not so good plain.
