  • Total Time: 30 minutes

Description

A fresh, low-carb take on burgers using wild salmon fillets and crisp lettuce wraps, perfect for a healthy, high-protein meal.


Ingredients

Scale

1 lb wild salmon, finely chopped

1 egg

1/4 cup almond flour

1 tbsp Dijon mustard

1.5 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

Juice of 1/2 lemon

Salt and pepper to taste

4 large butter lettuce leaves

Toppings: Avocado mash, cucumber, red onions, microgreens


Instructions

Mix salmon, egg, mustard, spices, and almond flour in a bowl.

Form into 4 patties using burger mold.

Preheat a skillet with avocado oil spray.

Sear patties 3–4 minutes on each side until golden and cooked.

Let rest 5 minutes; prep toppings and lettuce.

Assemble: lettuce leaf, avocado mash, salmon patty, toppings, top leaf.

Notes

Use a food processor for uniform salmon texture.

For dairy-free, skip yogurt-based sauces in toppings.

Great for meal prep; reheats better in oven or air fryer.
