Ingredients

  • 8 Pre-formed Salmon Burgers I used Trader Joe’s
  • Salt and pepper
  • Vegetable oil
  • Mango Ginger Chutney for garnish
  • Arugula for garnish
  • 8 Buns or Rolls I chose whole wheat hamburger buns

Curry Mayo

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder

Instructions

  • Heat and oil your grill or grill pan. Add the frozen burgers directly to the pan. Don’t thaw first!
  • Sprinkle liberally with sea salt and black pepper.
  • Sear for 3-4 minutes, then flip.
  • Sprinkle with salt and pepper. You should have nice grill marks on each side. Salmon Burgers with Curry Mayo grill marks on salmon
  • Remove to a foil-wrapped container.
  • Repeat until all your burgers are done.
  • In a small bowl or Tupperware, mix the mayo, cayenne and curry powder*. Cover and refrigerate until you’re ready to use.
  • Make sure the rolls or buns are sliced. It’s always annoying to show up at your picnic only to find out they aren’t.
  • Put out the arugula and mango chutney and let guests assemble their own burgers.Salmon Burgers with Curry Mayo on whole wheat buns

Notes

*You may decide to make it either more spicy with cayenne, or stronger in curry flavor with more powder, but the measurements I used are a good guideline. And there will be leftover mayo. But it doesn't really go bad in the refrigerator, so no worries there.
