Salmon Satay Burgers with Onion Relish
Getting your protein count into your diet often boils down to grilled chicken and shakes. Especially when you’ve been dieting for a while and just can’t be bothered to throw together anything more complex.
One of the problems of the low fat, chicken/turkey options is the distinct lack of other great dietary substances such as Omega-3 fatty acids.
This dish is something I love to make, and what’s great about it is its portioned into burgers (great for meal prep and portion control). I am also aware that salmon is something you love or hate, some people really dislike the texture that comes from the higher fat levels in the meat. Well, the patty removes that issue, so now you can enjoy all the benefits of salmon, no matter how you feel about it.
This is a dish from my December recipe packs that I support my clients with on a monthly basis….. Enjoy
Salmon Satay Burger
Ingredients - Serves 4
Relish
1 cucumber - peels and finely chopped
1 small red onion - sliced
3 tbsp rice wine vinegar
1 tsp coconut sugar
1/4 tsp salt
Burgers
450g Salmon - finely chopped
2tbsp shallot - finely chopped
1 jalapeno pepper - chopped
1 stalk lemongrass
2 tbsp coriander
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp turmeric
1 egg - beaten
5 tbsp panko or standard breadcrumbs
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tbsp coconut oil
4 burger buns
Method
Make the relish by throwing all the ingredients in a bowl and leaving to sit at room temperature. This will let the flavours really pop.
Add Salmon, shallot, pepper, coriander, cumin and turmeric in a bowl. Mix well (I would recommend hands for this, you dont want to completely destroy the different textures)
Add egg, breadcrumbs and seasoning to the bowl and mix well.
Divide into 4 pattys.
Place burgers into a hot frying pan for 4 minutes before turning then repeat.
Serve with the buns and relish

You could swap out the buns for 3-4 iceberg lettuce leaves if you wanted to reduce your carb and calorie count further.
