This recipe comes from my grandma, who also supplied the Salmon Chowder recipe. She really knows her stuff, and her salmon! Finns love fishes!

Preparation

Step 1

Burgers
1. Place salmon in food processor, cover and pulse about 7 times to coarsely grind, set aside.
2. In a large bowl, combine remaining ingredients, except oil! Add salmon and stir to combine.
3. Line a tray with parchment paper or foil. Make patties from 1/3 cup portions of the salmon mixture. Place on tray, cover with plastic wrap and chill for 30 min (up to 8hrs).
4. When ready to cook burgers, heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook for 4-5. minutes per side until browned. A thermometer will read 160F.

Lime Mayonnaise
1. Combine all ingredients and chill until ready to serve with burgers.

A regular bun with some lettuce, perhaps a tomato or some avocado will pair nicely with these burgers. Serve them bun free, wrapped in lettuce leaves for a low carb version. A light spinach and arugula salad with blueberries, walnuts and goat cheese would pair well.
