What You’ll Need

Salt and freshly ground pepper

Olive oil

Makes 3 servings

15 minutes active time

30 minutes total time

Step 1

Pour the panko onto a plate. Chop the chives. Drain and chop the salmon pieces. In a large bowl, mix together the salmon and chives until combined. Season with a generous pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper.

Step 2

Shape the mixture into 3 patties about 1 inch thick. Coat each salmon patty on both sides with the panko, pressing to help the bread crumbs stick. 

Step 3 

In a cast-iron skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 2 tablespoons olive oil. When the oil shimmers, slide the salmon patties into the pan and cook until golden brown and firm to the touch, 5 minutes per side. 

Step 4

Meanwhile, toast the buns. To build the burgers, place the buns on plates, spread with aioli, and stack with the salmon patties, pickled red onions, and a small handful of arugula. Serve warm. 

Contains: milk, eggs, fish, wheat.

Note: The salmon may arrive frozen for freshness. Store it in the refrigerator to defrost before cooking. If you need to defrost it same day, place the sealed package in a bowl of cold water, and leave the tap running in a thin stream for about 30 minutes.
