Salmon Burger Ingredients:
-
300 g cooked salmon (canned works fine)
-
1 egg
-
¼ cup Greek yogurt
-
⅔ cup breadcrumbs
-
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
-
1 tablespoon mustard
-
Hot sauce (optional)

¼ cup chopped fresh parsley

Colavita Extra Virgin Olive Oil, for frying
In a large bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, optional hot sauce, parsley, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
Add the salmon, egg, salt, and pepper, and mix thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Once chilled, form 4 patties by hand.
Heat 4 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet. Fry the patties for 3–4 minutes per side until golden. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.
Assemble the burgers: place some lettuce on hamburger buns, top with the salmon patty and chimichurri sauce, add sliced red onions if desired, and cover with the top bun.
