Equipment

  • Burger press
  • food processor

Ingredients

Patties

  • 200 g salmon file skinless
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • ½ small red onion
  • ¼ tsp ground garlic
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 puffs olive oil ~4 ml for greasing the burger press

Salad

  • 1 carrot
  • ¼ small celery root
  • 80 g low fat Greek yogurt 2% fat
  • 1 tsp sweet mustard
  • 1 tsp fresh dill chopped
  • salt and pepper to taste

Serving

  • 2 burger buns
  • ½ red onion cut into rings
  • a handful arugula
  • 2 tsp simple green pesto

Instructions

Patties

  • Dice the salmon and the half onion, then add them to a food processor.
  • Add the spices and the mustard, then blitz it for a few seconds until a chunky paste is obtained. The composition should not be very lumpy but not too pureed either, just about in between.
  • Add a large frying pan to heat up on medium heat.
  • Grease the burger press with a puff of olive oil. This way, you will be able to remove the formed patty easier.
  • Add half of the composition to the burger press, mount the top and press it down gently.
  • Remove the patty from the burger press and gently add it to the frying pan. Repeat the process with the remaining salmon mix.
  • Rise the heat up and cook the patties 2 minutes on one side, turn and cook for one minute.
  • Remove the burger patties on a serving plate, while you prepare the salad.

Salad

  • Grate the celery root quarter and the carrot.
  • Add the Greek yogurt, the dill, the mustard, the ground garlic, salt and pepper to taste, then mix thoroughly. This is a more guilt free substitution of the traditional mayonnaise coleslaw salad.

Serving

  • Slice the buns in halves width-wise.
  • Add one teaspoon of pesto to each bun bottom and spread evenly.
  • Add the arugula, the salmon patty, the salad, the onion rings, then the top of the bun.
  • Secure it with a skewer and serve immediately.

Notes

Calories count take into account the homemade bun per serving, but without it, the count it's somewhere around 230.
