Cooking Instructions

1. Prepare the salmon mixture. Cut the 500g salmon fillet into chunks and place in a food processor with the breadcrumbs, egg white, chopped shallot and basil. Pulse until combined but still slightly chunky. Take care not to over-process the mixture. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
2. Shape the burgers. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape into burgers. Place on a plate and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
3. Cook the burgers Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the salmon burgers and cook for approximately 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
4. Make the basil & lime mayonnaise. Mix the mayonnaise with the chopped basil, lime zest, lime juice and crushed garlic. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
5. Place lettuce and sliced tomato on the bottom half of each toasted focaccia bun. Add a cooked salmon burger and spoon over the basil & lime mayonnaise. Top with the other half of the bun. Serve immediately with chips or chosen sides.
