Burgers with Ginger-Wasabi Mayo and Sesame-Crusted French Fries
Ingredients :-
1 sack (16 to 18 ounces) crispy-style frozen French fries
Sesame seeds 4 tablespoons
Fresh salmon fillet, pin bones and skin removed 1½ pounds
Garlic cloves, chopped 2
3-inch piece of fresh ginger, minced or grated
Tamari (dark aged soy sauce) 3 tablespoons
Scallions, white and green parts, chopped 2
red bell pepper, cored, seeded, and finely chopped ½ small
Sesame oil (eyeball it) 2 teaspoons
2 teaspoons grill seasoning, such as McCormick’s Montreal Steak Seasoning, or 1 teaspoon coarse black pepper and ½ teaspoon coarse salt (eyeball it)
Coarse black pepper
Light-in-color oil, such as canola, safflower, or peanut oil 1 tablespoon
Cup mayonnaise ½ to ¾
wasabi paste 2 tablespoons
Juice of 1 lime
Sesame kaiser rolls, split and toasted 4
Red leaf lettuce, for garnish
Procedure :-
First of all preheat the oven according to the package directions for the fries.
Spread the French fries out on a cookie sheet and cook according to the package directions. Three minutes before the fries are finished cooking, remove them from the
oven, sprinkle with the sesame seeds, toss with a spatula to coat, and return to the oven to finish cooking and to toast the sesame seeds.
Cube the salmon into bite-size pieces and place in a food processor. Pulse the processor to coarse-grind the salmon; it should take on the consistency of ground beef or turkey. Transfer the salmon to a bowl and combine with the garlic, three fourths of the ginger, the tamari, scallions, red bell peppers, sesame oil, grill seasoning, and black pepper. Form 4 large patties, 1½ inches thick.
Drizzle the patties on both sides with the oil. Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, add the salmon burgers, and cook for 5 to 6 minutes on each side for well done.
While the salmon burgers are cooking, prepare the ginger-wasabi mayo. In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, wasabi paste, lime juice, and the remaining ginger.
Spread the ginger-wasabi mayonnaise on the buns. Top with a salmon burger and red leaf lettuce and set the bun tops in place. Serve with the sesame-crusted French fries.
The Delicious Burger with Ginger-Wasabi Mayo and Sesame-Crusted French Fries is ready.
