Crafting these delicious Salmon Burgers with Sesame-Soy Glaze is straightforward. Follow these steps to create an incredible meal:

1. Prepare the Salmon: Finely chop the salmon fillet or pulse it in a food processor until it is coarsely ground. Avoid over-processing; you want a chunky texture.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the chopped salmon, breadcrumbs, soy sauce, sesame oil, green onions, ginger, garlic, and the beaten egg. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.
3. Form Patties: Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into burger patties, approximately 1 inch thick.
4. Chill: Let the patties chill in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes for better handling and to maintain their shape while cooking.
5. Preheat the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Lightly grease with oil to prevent sticking.
6. Cook Patties: Place the patties in the skillet or on the grill. Cook for 4–5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. They should reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
7. Prepare the Glaze: While the patties are cooking, create the sesame-soy glaze by mixing additional soy sauce, sesame oil, and sesame seeds in a small bowl. Brush the glaze over the patties for the last few minutes of cooking.
8. Toast Buns: If desired, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in the skillet until golden brown.
9. Assemble the Burgers: Place each patty on a toasted bun, and top with fresh lettuce, sliced tomatoes, and avocado if you like.

These steps will help you create an incredible salmon burger that is bursting with flavor!
