Introduction
These are so satisfying. The blend of spices is insanely yum and the zesty lime takes to salmon so perfectly. These quickly became a weekly occurrence in my house and once you try them you’ll know why.
Ingredients
½ | large onion |
400g (14 oz) | fresh salmon |
1 | egg |
30g (1 oz/¼ cup) | ground almonds |
2 tsp | paprika |
1 tsp | cayenne pepper |
1 tsp | garlic powder |
½ tsp | ground cumin |
1 | lime, juice, plus extra to serve |
coconut oil, for frying | |
iceberg lettuce, to serve | |
coarse salt |
Method
Chop the onion and salmon fillets into a few big chunks and add them to your food processor. Add in the egg, ground almonds, all of the spices, salt and lime juice too.
Pulse it a few times until everything is broken up and comes together. It should be a bit mushy, but still have some chunks (don’t overblend).
Lay out a sheet of parchment paper on the counter and then wet your hands. Use your damp hands to shape the mixture into patties, laying them out on the parchment paper.
Heat a pan on a high heat and add a little coconut oil. When it’s hot, add the burgers and cook for 4–5 minutes on each side.
Serve wrapped in fresh crunchy iceberg leaves with a generous squeeze of extra lime.
