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