SALMON & BEET HUMMUS GOURMET BURGER

Ingredients

  • Salmon hamburger patty
  • Beet hummus
  • Lettuce (preferably romaine or butterhead)
  • Sliced red onion
  • Cheddar cheese
  • Mayonnaise
  • Sesame Brioche Burger Buns

Tips

1. Prep the Beet Hummus (Optional Enhancement)

If you want extra brightness or heat, stir a dash of lemon juice and/or a pinch of chili flakes into the beet hummus. Set aside.

2. Toast the Buns

Lightly toast the sesame brioche buns in a skillet or toaster. This adds texture and keeps the buns from getting soggy once the sauces and toppings are added.

3. Cook the Salmon Patty

Cook the salmon hamburger patty according to your preferred method—pan‑seared, baked, or grilled. In the final minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top so it melts slightly.

4. Prep the Fresh Components

Rinse and pat dry the lettuce. Slice the red onion thinly for a crisp bite.

5. Assemble the Burger

Spread a layer of mayonnaise on the bottom bun. Add a handful of lettuce. Place the cheddar‑topped salmon patty on the lettuce. Spread beet hummus generously over the patty or on the top bun. Add sliced red onion for crunch and contrast. Place the top bun on and serve warm.

Serving Suggestions

Pair with roasted potatoes, cucumber salad, or garlic‑herb quinoa. Add cucumber ribbons or pickled beets for extra texture and brightness.
