These healthy burgers pack quite a flavor punch! This exquisite salmon burger recipe tops out at 235 calories while providing unreal taste and flavor. Scallions, ginger, sesame oil, and soy sauce all blend together to make a memorable burger feast!

Burgers:

4 scallions, cut in 1-in. pieces

1 Tablespoons pickled ginger slices (found in your market's Asian section)

1 teaspoon dark sesame oil

1/4 teaspoon each salt and freshly ground pepper

White from 1 large egg

1 Tablespoon soy sauce

2-lb piece salmon fillet (preferably sockeye or coho), skin and pin bones removed, cut in 1-in. cubes

Nonstick spray

6 leaves Boston lettuce

Toppings: wasabi mayonnaise, pickled ginger slices and radish sprouts

Garnish:

black sesame seeds

1. Heat outdoor grill.

2. Burgers: In food processor, pulse scallions, ginger, sesame oil, salt and pepper until finely minced, scraping down sides of processor bowl once or twice.

3. Add egg white and soy sauce; pulse to blend. Add salmon. Pulse just until very finely chopped but not a paste. Shape into 6 burgers, each about 3/4 in. thick.

4. Coat burgers with nonstick spray. Grill, turning once, until done as desired (6 minutes for medium-rare, which is preferred).

5. Place on lettuce leaves. Top each with wasabi mayonnaise, ginger slices and sprouts; sprinkle with a pinch or two of sesame seeds.

Yields 6 salmon burgers.
