salmon burgers with tarragon mayo
Last night I was invited to a girls dinner where we all cooked recipes from the fish cooking class at Come Back to the Table in November. It was so much fun!! It reminded me that I hadn’t posted some of the easy and yummy recipes I hope you all try. Here is one of my favorites:
Fresh Salmon Burgers with Tarragon Mayonaise
1 lb. fresh wild salmon, skin removed
4 green onions, rough chopped
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 tbsp. fresh lemon joice
1 tbsp chopped fresh tarragon
1 tsp. Dijon mustard
1 tsp. prepared horseradish
½ tsp. salt
Fresh ground pepper
½ cup dry breadcrumbs
1bsp. butter
Combine salmon, green onions, lemon juice, tarragon, mustard, horseradish, salt and pepper, plus 3 tbsp. mayonnaise in a food processor and pulse to combine. You want texture, not a puree. Stir in the bread crumbs and form into 4 on inch patties. Meanwhile, prepare the tarragon mayonnaise. Can be made early in the day.
Tarragon Mayonnaise*
1 cup mayo
¼ cup plain greek yogurt
4 green onions, sliced thinly
1 tbsp. fresh lemon joice
1 tbsp. fresh tarragon, chopped
2 tsp. Dijon mustard
2 tsp. prepared horseradish
* Mayo can be made 1 day ahead
Combine all ingredients in a small bowl, adding salt and pepper to taste. Can be made a day ahead.
Melt butter in a large skillet that will hold the patties without touching, and when hot, add the salmon patties. Cook about 3-4 minutes per side, until firm to the touch and crusty brown on both sides. Serve with the tarragon mayo.
