Creating the perfect Salmon Burgers With Pesto Cream Sauce can be accomplished with these straightforward steps:
1. Prepare the Salmon: Chop the salmon fillet into small pieces, ensuring there are no bones.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine chopped salmon, breadcrumbs, parsley, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until fully combined.
3. Form Patties: Shape the salmon mixture into patties, about 1 inch thick. You should get approximately four burgers.
4. Heat the Pan: In a skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat.
5. Cook the Patties: Once the oil is hot, add the salmon patties. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Be careful not to overcook them.
6. Prepare the Sauce: In a separate saucepan, combine pesto and heavy cream. Stir over low heat until warmed through, ensuring not to boil.
7. Serve: Place the cooked salmon patties on burger buns or lettuce leaves. Drizzle the warm pesto cream sauce generously over the patties.
8. Garnish: Add fresh arugula or spinach on top for an extra crunch and flavor.
9. Enjoy: Serve warm and savor each bite of your incredible creation.
