Lively Asian-Inspired Salmon Burgers

Step 1

Start by placing a colander over a bowl and adding the salmon, breaking it up a little to help it drain. Let it sit for about 10 minutes, then pour off any liquid and transfer the salmon to a large mixing bowl. Stir in the bell pepper and onion until everything’s combined. Add the bread crumbs, eggs, soy sauce, Sriracha, ginger, a teaspoon of sesame oil, mustard powder, and garlic powder, then mix everything together well. Shape the mixture into five patties, place them on a baking sheet, and cover with plastic wrap. Pop them in the fridge to chill for at least an hour, or up to overnight if you have the time. When you’re ready to cook, heat the vegetable oil and the remaining teaspoon of sesame oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully add the patties, turn the heat down to medium, and cook for about 7 to 9 minutes on each side until they’re nicely browned. Once done, transfer the burgers to a serving plate and enjoy!
