Salmon Burger

25 minutes
Salmon burger is a harmony of rich flavors and textures. Its history begins with American classics, but in this rendition, it gains special sophistication thanks to the noble red fish. A juicy salmon patty complemented by the mild spiciness of chipotle mayonnaise and the freshness of tomato salsa creates a rich and multifaceted taste. Smoked paprika and Worcestershire sauce give the meat a deep aroma, while Jarlsberg cheese smoothly softens its richness. The bun, slightly soaked in spicy sauce, holds all the ingredients in perfect balance. This burger can be served with fries for a classic fast-food experience or enjoyed as a standalone dish that reveals the full palette of American cuisine in an unusual interpretation.

Cut the buns in half, spread both halves with chipotle mayonnaise. Place a leaf of lettuce on the bottom halves. Then add a fish patty with a slice of cheese (Jarlsberg), top the cheese with salsa, and cover with the top halves of the buns. Serve with fries — or enjoy as is.
