Ingredients
- FOR THE SAUCE
- 1/2 medium unpeeled English (seedless) cucumber, trimmed
- 3/4 cup plain low-fat Greek-style yogurt
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 small clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- FOR THE BURGERS
- 3 slices whole-wheat sandwich bread, crusts removed
- One-pound piece skinless salmon fillet, preferably center-cut
- 2 scallions (white and green parts), thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons minced celery
- 2 tablespoons fresh chopped dill
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 large egg white, lightly beaten
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Whole-grain buns or lettuce leaves, for serving
Instructions
- For the sauce: Grate the cucumber on the large-holed side of a box grater. Place the grated cucumber in a fine-mesh strainer and drain for a minute or two, pressing out as much liquid as possible.
- Stir together the grated cucumber, yogurt, oil, lemon juice, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. The yield is about 1 cup. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use (and up to 4 days).
- For the burgers: Place the bread in the food processor and pulse to make fine crumbs. (The yield should be about 1 1/2 cups.) Transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
- Cut the salmon into large chunks, then transfer to the food processor; pulse until chopped but some pieces still remain visible, 10 to 15 pulses; add to the bowl with the bread crumbs.
- Add the scallions, celery, dill, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, egg white, salt and pepper to the bowl, mixing to combine. Form this mixture into 4 equal patties and place them on a plate. Cover and refrigerate for 10 minutes to set.
- Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Once it is hot, grease it with cooking oil spray; add the salmon patties and cook for about 3 minutes per side or until just cooked through.
- Serve with the sauce, on whole-grain buns or with lettuce leaves (to use as wraps).
