• Ready In: 1hr
• Ingredients: 8
• Yields: 4 burgers
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons wasabi powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon honey
• 1 boneless skinless salmon fillet
• 2 scallions (finely chopped)
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 2 tablespoons minced ginger (fresh)
• 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

directions

1. Whisk soy sauce, wasabi powder and honey in a small bowl until smooth. Set aside.
2. With a large chef's knife, chop salmon using quick, even, straight-up-and-down motions (do not rock the knife through the fish or it will turn mushy). Continue chopping, rotating the knife, until you have a mass of roughly 1/4-inch pieces. Transfer to a large bowl.
3. Add scallions, egg, ginger and oil; stir to combine.
4. Form the mixture into 4 patties. The mixture will be moist and loose, but holds together nicely once the first side is cooked.
5. Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat for 1 minute.
6. Add the patties and cook for 4 minutes. Turn and continue to cook until firm and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
7. Spoon the reserved wasabi glaze evenly over the burgers and cook for 15 seconds more. Serve immediately.
8. can put on buns or over lettuce.
