Asian Salmon Burgers With Wasabi Mayo Asian Relish Recipes

Steps:

• 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.

Steps:

• To prepare the mayo, whisk together wasabi powder and water in a small bowl until a paste forms. Whisk in the mayonnaise, ginger, soy sauce, and lemon juice until evenly incorporated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate at least 35 minutes. To prepare the burgers, preheat an outdoor grill over high heat. Place all the ingredients, except for the breadcrumbs, into the bowl of a food processor and pulse 12-15 times, or until the mixture is ground, with a few small chunks of salmon. Remove the mixture from the food processor and place it into a mixing bowl. Add the breadcrumbs and mix until evenly incorporated. Form 4 patties, place them on a plate, and refrigerate for 20 minutes. Lightly brush the outside of each patty with a little vegetable oil to prevent sticking, and place the salmon patties on the hot grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until char marks appear. Flip the patties and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the patties reads 155°F, about 4-5 more minutes. Serve the burgers on sesame seed buns and top with the wasabi mayo.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven according to the package directions for the fries.
• Spread the French fries out on a cookie sheet and cook according to the package directions. Three minutes before the fries are finished cooking, remove them from the oven, sprinkle with the sesame seeds, toss with a spatula to coat, and return to the oven to finish cooking and to toast the sesame seeds.
• Cube the salmon into bite-size pieces and place in a food processor. Pulse the processor to coarse-grind the salmon; it should take on the consistency of ground beef or turkey. Transfer the salmon to a bowl and combine with the garlic, three fourths of the ginger, the tamari, scallions, red bell peppers, sesame oil, grill seasoning, and black pepper. Form 4 large patties, 1 1/2 inches thick. Drizzle the patties on both sides with the oil. Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, add the salmon burgers, and cook for 5 to 6 minutes on each side for well done.
• While the salmon burgers are cooking, prepare the ginger-wasabi mayo. In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, wasabi paste, lime juice, and the remaining ginger.
• Spread the ginger-wasabi mayonnaise on the buns. Top with a salmon burger and red leaf lettuce and set the bun tops in place. Serve with the sesame-crusted French fries.
