4 servings
For the patties
- 1 ½ lb skinless salmon fillet, cut into 1-inch chunks
- ⅓ cup panko breadcrumbs
Chef's tipRegular bread crumbs are finer and less crunchy than panko. Use the same amount; coatings and toppings will be a bit denser and less crisp. - 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 2 tsp dijon mustard
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced (green parts only)
For the Cajun spice blend
- 1 ½ tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp dried thyme
- ½ tsp kosher salt
For cooking
- 2 tbsp olive oil
For the remoulade
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp hot sauce
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- ¼ tsp smoked paprika
For serving
- 4 burger buns, toasted
Chef's tipWhole-grain buns are denser, so the texture will be heartier. - 4 leaves romaine or green leaf lettuce
