Preparation Instructions

For the burgers:
In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a blade attachment, pulse the garlic and parsley until minced. Add the salmon and pulse a few times. Add in the lemon juice, lemon zest, bread crumbs and red pepper flakes. Grind until the mixture forms a thick paste. Season with salt and pepper. Form into four equal patties.

Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the salmon patties and cook until brown, about 2-3 minutes. Flip each patty over and brown on the other side and cook until cooked through, about another 3 minutes.

For the tartar sauce, whisk all ingredients together and season with salt and pepper.

Serve the patties on toasted hamburger buns with tartar sauce, cucumbers slices and spinach leaves.
