Ingredients

Scale

For the Salmon Burgers

  • 1 lb fresh salmon fillets, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 slices smoked turkey bacon
  • Oil for cooking (light, neutral oil)

For the Creamy Cabbage Slaw

  • 2 cups shredded green cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded purple cabbage
  • 1/2 cup grated carrots
  • 1/4 cup plant-based mayonnaise (natural)
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 1 tsp mustard (natural)
  • A pinch of natural gelling agent
  • Salt to taste

To Serve

  • Toasted buns or large lettuce leaves for wrapping
  • Smoked turkey slices (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Salmon Patties: Finely chop the fresh salmon fillets into small pieces or pulse briefly in a food processor until combined. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped salmon with panko breadcrumbs, minced garlic, chopped parsley, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly to keep the patties tender.
  2. Cook the Smoked Turkey Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, lightly crisp the smoked turkey bacon until golden and fragrant. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels. Chop into small pieces to fold into the salmon mixture or use as a topping.
  3. Form and Cook the Salmon Burgers: Shape the salmon mixture into evenly sized patties. Cook them in a lightly oiled skillet or grill pan over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Flip only once to maintain structure.
  4. Make the Creamy Cabbage Slaw: In a large bowl, combine shredded green and purple cabbage with grated carrots. In a separate bowl, whisk together plant-based mayonnaise (natural), apple cider vinegar (natural), mustard (natural), salt, and a pinch of natural gelling agent until creamy. Toss the dressing with the cabbage mixture until fully coated.
  5. Assemble and Serve: Place a salmon burger on a toasted bun or a lettuce wrap. Top generously with creamy cabbage slaw and a slice of smoked turkey slices if desired. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use fresh salmon for best texture and flavor.
  • Do not overmix the patties to keep them tender and juicy.
  • Chill patties before cooking to help them hold together.
  • Adjust slaw creaminess by balancing plant-based mayonnaise and apple cider vinegar.
  • Lightly toast buns to add crunch and resist moisture from the slaw.
