Wasabi Salmon Burgers


  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 1/2 tsp wasabi powder
  • 1/2 tsp honey
  • 1 lb boneless skinless salmon fillet
  • 2 scallions, finely chopped
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 tbsp minced peeled fresh ginger
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil

Whisk soy sauce, wasabi powder and honey in a small bowl until smooth. Set aside.


With a large knife, chop salmon roughly into 1/4-inch pieces. Transfer to a large bowl. Add scallions, egg, ginger and oil; stir to combine. Form the mixture into 4 patties. The mixture will be moist and loose, but holds together nicely once the first side is cooked.

Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat for 1 minute. Add the patties and cook for 4 minutes. Turn and continue to cook until firm and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Spoon the reserved wasabi glaze evenly over the burgers and cook for 15 seconds more. Serve immediately on your favorite roll or bun.
