Ingredients

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless salmon cut into small chunks
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon low-fat mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon chives chopped
  • 1.5 teaspoons ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon sumac
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper ground
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 4 whole whole wheat buns
  • 1/3 cup tzatziki
  • 1/4 cup red onion sliced
  • 1 large tomato sliced
  • 1 cup baby arugula

Instructions

  • Place one-quarter of the salmon chunks, the Dijon mustard, and the mayonnaise in a food processor and process until a smooth paste forms.
  • Add the remaining salmon, chopped chives, ground coriander, sumac, ground black pepper, and salt to the food processor and pulse 4–5 times until just combined without overprocessing.
  • Transfer the mixture to a bowl, cover, and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to firm up.
  • After chilling, shape the salmon mixture into 6 even patties.
  • Heat the avocado oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties 4–5 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through.
  • To assemble, spread tzatziki on both sides of each bun, then add a salmon patty and top with sliced red onion, tomato, and baby arugula.
