Ingredients
- 1/2 kg salmon fillet (about 1 lb), skin removed
- 4 tbsp fresh dill, chopped roughly
- 2 tbsp capers, chopped roughly
- 1 egg
- 4 tbsp breadcrumbs
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/8 to 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 3/4 cup plain yogurt
- 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 lemon, grated zest
- salt and pepper, to season
Instructions
- Prepare the grill by preheating.
- Place half of the fillet of salmon in a food processor. Pulse until it has turned into an almost ‘paste’ consistency. Chop the other half into small cubes.
- In a medium bowl, combine salmon, 3 tbsp dill, capers, egg, salt, ground black pepper and 2 tbsp breadcrumbs. Mix. If the mixture is too wet, add the remaining breadcrumbs, one tablespoon at a time.
- Start forming the patties, and once the grill is ready, place them on top.
- Turn them on the other side after around 3 to 4 minutes. Cook for 3 more minutes on the other side and take them out of the grill.
- Prepare the sauce by combining yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, and remaining dill in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
- Place the salmon burger on a bun with some leafy vegetables (like romaine lettuce). Add a tablespoon of lemon yogurt sauce and a slice of tomato.
- Serve.

Notes
- It doesn't matter which part of salmon you use, as long as it's a fillet.
- Make sure you prepare the salmon in two different ways before mixing and forming the patties.
- You can substitute a different kind of yogurt, but make sure that it's not too strong that it overpowers the lemon flavor.
