SPYKI SALMON BURGER

Spice meets salmon in this recipe for Spyki salmon burgers. The subtle sweetness of spicy candied teriyaki (Spyki) meets the bright salinity of salmon in a unique burger that will wow at your next get together.

Ingredients

Optional Toppings

    • Mayo
    • Wasabi paste
    • Butter lettuce
    • Pickled red onions
    • Fresh avocado slices
    cowboy pinwheels

    Directions

    For the patty

    In a medium-sized bowl, combine your pre-cooked salmon, Elda’s Kitchen Spyki Cooking & Grilling Sauce, Panko/bread crumbs, salt, and pepper. Mix to combine using either your hands or a wooden spoon. If you find your mixture is too dry/not sticking together, add 1 egg.

    Once combined, use a burger press or your hands to form patties. If using your hands, form large balls (should cover your palm, a little smaller than a baseball). Press into 1/2″ patties. If time permits, let chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes (cold patties hold their shape better while grilling). 

    Grill to your preference. We recommend flipping only once to preserve moisture and shape if possible! Ensure that your burger has cooked to a safe internal temperature and then remove from heat. 

    For the wasabi mayo

    In a small bowl, combine mayo and wasabi paste (you can add more wasabi to your preference, but we recommend starting with a ratio of about ½ tablespoon wasabi for every ⅓ cup of mayo).

    Assembly

    For assembly, we like to layer the flavors as follows: start by spreading wasabi mayo on the bottom bun. Next, add a few leaves of butter lettuce, followed by pickled red onions, your Spyki salmon patty, and avocado slices. For a spicier burger, add a little more Spyki sauce to the top and add wasabi mayo to the top bun as well.

    Serve with a side of habanero lime chips and enjoy!
