Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Salmon: Ensure your salmon fillet is skinless, then chop it into small pieces. Place the chopped salmon in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Mix Ingredients: Add panko crumbs, chopped green onions, minced poblano pepper, egg, and freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice into the bowl. Season generously with salt and pepper, then mix everything gently.
  3. Form the Patties: Divide the mixture into even portions and shape each one into burger patties, aiming for about ½ inch thick.
  4. Grill the Patties: Preheat your grill pan or BBQ to medium-high heat. Add the burger patties to the grill, cooking for about 4 minutes on one side.
  5. Flip and Finish Cooking: Carefully flip each burger patty and continue grilling for another 4 minutes until cooked through.
  6. Prepare the Avocado Salsa: Dice your ripe avocado and place it in a separate bowl. Add more chopped poblano, green onions, and a splash of lemon or lime juice. Season and stir gently.
  7. Assemble and Serve: Remove the grilled salmon burgers from the heat and top each patty with your avocado salsa. Serve immediately.
