Method
Asian-Style Salmon Burgers with Green Beans
FOOD PROCESSOR add salmon roughly cut into smaller pieces + garlic, egg, soy, and gochujang. Pulse until mixture forms a chunky mix – do not process too long. Alternatively, chop the salmon really fine using a knife OR ask your fish monger to do it for you.
BOWL add salmon mixture + all remaining ingredients. You want to slice the beans and the scallion very finely = paper-thin. You could process them first separate from the salmon, so they break down properly.
MIX all ingredients well together in a glass or stainless bowl.
SHAPE into 6 even-sized burgers.
HEAT your oven-proof skillet or frying pan until hot. ADD 2 tsp oil.
PAN-SEAR medium heat 3-4 mins each side – until nicely browned. Cook longer if you like your salmon; well done. You can grill these as well.
SERVE with salad, in sourdough bread or sesame bread roll with any salad greens with like.
