Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 2 eggs, slightly beaten
• 2 teaspoons ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• ¾ cup bread crumbs
• ½ red bell pepper, minced

• ¼ cup minced sweet onion
• 2 (14.75 ounce) cans salmon
• 1 teaspoon dried mustard powder

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place a colander on top of a bowl; add salmon to the colander and separate fish a bit to allow it to drain. Let stand until well drained, about 10 minutes. Discard juice and transfer salmon to a large bowl.

Step 2

Mix bell pepper and onion into the salmon. Add bread crumbs, eggs, soy sauce, Sriracha, ginger, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, mustard powder, and garlic powder; mix to combine. Form into 5 patties. Place patties on a cookie sheet and cover with plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator, 1 hour to overnight.

Step 3

Heat vegetable oil and 1 teaspoon sesame oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Gently place burgers into the skillet, reduce heat to medium, and cook, turning just once, until well browned, 7 to 9 minutes per side. Place cooked burgers on a serving platter.
