Ingredients

FOR THE MAYO

  • 1 jalapeno pepper
  • 4-5 large basil leaves chopped
  • ¼ cup mayo

FOR THE BURGERS/SALMON PATTIES

  • 8 ounces salmon
  • ½ small onion chopped
  • 1 jalapeno pepper chopped
  • 1 clove garlic chopped
  • 1 egg
  • ¼ cup panko bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil + more as needed
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasonings
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 toasted buns for serving
  • Extra jalapenos just because!

Instructions

  • For the mayo, roast the jalapeno pepper over an open flame to char the skin. Keep flipping to get each side, about 5-6 minutes, until the skin is nicely charred. Remove and cover with a paper towel. Cool, then rub off the charred skins. Place into a foodprocessor.
  • Add basil and mayo and process until smooth. Set aside.
  • For the salmon patties, heat a small pan to medium heat and add some oil. Add jalapeno and onion and cook about 5 minutes.
  • Add garlic and cook 1 more minute.
  • Add to a food processor.
  • Add raw salmon and process. Remove and set into a mixing bowl.
  • Add egg, panko, olive oil, cilantro, Cajun seasonings, and salt and pepper. Hand mix.
  • Form into 2 patties and cook in a medium-heated pan with a few splashes of olive oil. Cook about 5 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
  • Set onto toasted buns and top with the jalapeno-basil mayo. Serve with extra jalapeno peppers!

Notes

I love these salmon cakes! Or salmon patties. Or salmon burgers. Whatever you'd like to call them!
