Directions

  • Place a colander on top of a bowl; add salmon to the colander and separate fish a bit to allow it to drain. Let stand until well drained, about 10 minutes. Discard juice and transfer salmon to a large bowl.

  • Mix bell pepper and onion into the salmon. Add bread crumbs, eggs, soy sauce, Sriracha, ginger, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, mustard powder, and garlic powder; mix to combine. Form into 5 patties. Place patties on a cookie sheet and cover with plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator, 1 hour to overnight.

  • Heat vegetable oil and 1 teaspoon sesame oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Gently place burgers into the skillet, reduce heat to medium, and cook, turning just once, until well browned, 7 to 9 minutes per side. Place cooked burgers on a serving platter.

Cook's Notes:

Try to cut the red bell pepper and the onion as small as possible.

Serve on lightly toasted hamburger buns with iceberg lettuce, sliced tomato, and sliced sweet onion. Or, place each burger on top of a bed of lettuce, sliced tomato, and onion, and add a squeeze of lemon to the top of the prepared burger. Set out honey mustard, mayonnaise, and lemon slices.
