Preparation tips
- Keep the salmon fillets well chilled before mixing so the patties hold together better; cold fish creates a firmer burger that stays juicy inside and develops a lovely caramelised crust in the pan.
- Serve the teriyaki salmon burgers in toasted brioche buns with shredded carrots, cucumber ribbons and a spoonful of extra glaze, finishing with sesame seeds and sliced spring onions for extra crunch and colour.
- If you prefer a milder burger for children, reduce the fresh root ginger and swap dark soy sauce for a lighter version; the sweet teriyaki glaze keeps the patties moist and appealing to younger tastes.
Recipe variations
- Gluten-free version: replace the soy sauce with a gluten-free tamari and serve the salmon patties in lettuce cups instead of burger buns; the teriyaki glaze made with tamari keeps the same sticky, sweet-savoury character.
- Festive variation: shape the salmon mixture into small bitesize balls, fry until golden and serve as party canapés with the teriyaki glaze as a dipping sauce, garnished with sesame seeds and spring onion.
