Bring
out the flavors of salmon with a Japanese-inspired infusion of ginger,
sesame oil and wasabi. Set the patties atop a vinegary salad of greens,
red pepper, radishes and sprouts.
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon wasabi powder, (see Note)
1 packet Splenda or Stevia
1.25 lbs salmon fillet, skinned (see Tip)
2 scallions, finely chopped
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons fresh minced ginger
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
Directions:
Whisk soy sauce, wasabi powder and honey in a small bowl until smooth. Set aside.
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. Add scallions, egg, ginger and oil;
stir to combine. Form the mixture into 4 patties. The mixture will be
moist and loose, but holds together nicely once the first side is
cooked.
Coat a large nonstick skillet
with cooking spray and heat over medium heat for 1 minute. Add the
patties and cook for 4 minutes. Turn and continue to cook until firm and
fragrant, about 3 minutes. Spoon the reserved wasabi glaze evenly over
the burgers and cook for 15 seconds more. Serve immediately.
Ingredient Note:
Wasabi powder, when mixed with water, becomes the green paste most of
us know from sushi restaurants. The powder is available in jars in the
Asian aisle of most supermarkets or in almost all Asian markets. Store
at room temperature for up to 1 year.
Tip: To skin a salmon fillet:
Place it on a clean cutting board, skin side down. Starting at the tail
end, slip the blade of a long, sharp knife between the fish flesh and
the skin, holding the skin down firmly with your other hand. Gently push
the blade along at a 30 degree angle, separating the fillet from the
skin without cutting through either. Or have your fishmonger do it for
you.
