Ingredients
-
1 pound
+/- wild caught salmon filet, cut into very small cubes (I used frozen)
-
6 ounces
halloumi cheese, shredded into very small pieces
-
4
scallions, finely chopped
-
2
cloves garlic, minced
-
salt and pepper, to taste (noting that halloumi is already quite salty)
-
1
egg
-
1/4 cup
fresh chopped dill - add as much as you want here!
-
1/2 cup
panko bread crumbs
Directions
-
Prep all the ingredients.
-
In a large bowl, mix salmon, cheese, scallions, garlic, and a dash of salt and pepper.
-
Add the egg. Mix well.
-
Add the dill and breadcrumbs for the final mix.
-
At this point the mixture may seem like it's not holding together well. It's true, the mixture is a bit loose, but don't be afraid to give it a few squeezes. It actually holds together quite well when cooking despite it's crumbly appearance. Fear not!
-
Form your mixture into 6 evenly divided patties. Make sure to press them out into an uniform thickness so they cook evenly.
-
At this point you can refrigerate them for a few hours if you're not ready to make them.
-
To cook the burgers, heat a greased flat stovetop griddle on medium heat. Cook the burgers about 3 minutes on each side until cooked through.
-
Serve with slices of avocado, tomatoes, peppers, spinach - whatever you've got! A wedge of lemon to squeeze on top is nice too!
