Wow. I made these for dinner last night and they were incredible. Simple, delicious, fast and healthy. The recipe comes from Real Simple magazine (June/July 2004), and I made it as written except that after pulverizing the bread (I used whole wheat since we don't do white bread in my house), I just added all the other ingredients to the food processor, too. This made it extremely simple. I am sure the fish was ground up more than the recipe intended, but we liked it that way. I cooked this in an indoor George Foreman-type grill, and they took about 6-7 minutes. It would work equally well with any of your favorite condiments, and I think it would be awesome over some greens with a citrus vinaigrette or ranch dressing. I plan to make these a lot. Ingredients:
2 lbs fresh salmon, skin removed |
2 egg whites |
1 tablespoon dijon mustard |
1/2 cup fresh breadcrumb (1 slice of white bread, ground in a food processor) |
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt |
2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped |
olive oil (optional) |
Directions:
1. Mince the salmon and place half of it in a large Ziplock bag.
2. Use a rolling pin to mash it.
3. Place this and the unmashed salmon in a large bowl and combine it with the egg whites, mustard, dill, salt, and bread crumbs.
4. Form four 3/4 patties.
5. Place on a medium-hot grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side (or cook on a stovetop by heating 2 Tablespoons olive oil in a large pan over medium heat; cook patties for 5 minutes per side).
