Asian Salmon Burgers

Ingredients

• Garlic
• Egg
• Red onion
• Onion
• Sesame oil
• Ginger

Directions

1. Beat the egg in a small bowl, then stir in the ginger, garlic, soy, hoisin, and sesame oil. In a larger bowl, add the salmon, red onion, and 1/4c Panko. Keep the rest of the Panko nearby in a shallow bowl.
2. Pour the seasoned egg mixture into the salmon bowl and mix until everything comes together. Shape the salmon mixture into 4 burger patties, then gently press each one into the reserved Panko so it gets coated.
3. Cover the burgers and tuck them into the refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours.
4. Set the oven to 375 degrees. Place a non-stick fry pan on medium heat and warm the oil, then cook the burgers without crowding them: give the first side 2 minutes, flip, and cook the second side for 1 minute. Brush a small amount of hoisin over the tops.
5. Finish them in the oven: bake the burgers for 3 minutes, or until they are cooked through. If you prefer medium rare salmon, bake them for 2 minutes instead. Serve with buns, lettuce, and tomato slices.
