How to cook deliciously - Salmon Burgers with Chive and Lemon Mayonnaise

1. Stage

Whisk the egg and seasonings together: In a medium bowl, whisk the egg, mustard, lemon zest and juice, capers, salt, and pepper until blended.

2. Stage

Pulse the parsley and onion in a food processor: In a food processor, pulse the parsley and onion 4 to 5 times, or until finely chopped. Transfer to the bowl with the egg mixture.

3. Stage

Pulse the salmon in a food processor: Without washing out the food processor bowl, pulse the salmon chunks in 3 or 4 short bursts, or until they are in 1/4-inch size pieces. You want the mixture to be slightly chunky, not a puree. Make sure not to over process the mixture. Transfer the salmon to the bowl with the egg mixture, parsley, and onion.

4. Stage

Add the panko, shape the burgers, and refrigerate: Add the panko to the bowl with the salmon mixture and mix until the ingredients are well combined. Divide and form the mixture into four 4-inch patties that are about 1-inch thick. Place them in a single layer on a large plate and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

5. Stage

Make the chive mayonnaise: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice, chives, horseradish, mustard, and pepper.

6. Stage

Cook the burgers: On the stovetop: In a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of oil. Add the burgers to the pan once the oil is hot and cook, without disturbing for 4 minutes, or until the burgers are golden brown. Flip the burgers and cook them on the other side for 3 to 4 minutes, or until golden and an instant read thermometer inserted into the center of a burger registers 130°F. Transfer burgers to a plate. On the grill: Heat the grill to high heat. Use tongs to dip a folded square of paper towel in 2 tablespoons of oil and generously brush the oil over the grates. Place the burgers on the grill and cook without disturbing for 4 minutes, or until golden brown. Turn and cook the burgers on the other side for 3 to 4 minutes, or until an instant read thermometer inserted into the center of a burger registers 130°F. Transfer to a plate.

7. Stage

Assemble the burgers and serve: If you like, toast the buns in the non-stick skillet or grill for 30 seconds to a minute, or serve on soft buns. On the bottom of the 4 hamburger buns, spread some chive mayonnaise. Top with the burgers, tomato, onion, and lettuce and the top bun. Serve while the burgers are still warm.
