Prepare the Salmon:
Begin by finely chopping the salmon fillet or processing it in a food processor until coarsely ground. Be careful not to over-process; you want some texture, not a paste.
Mix Burger Ingredients:
In a large bowl, combine the ground salmon, panko crumbs, egg, chopped green onions, chopped poblano pepper, lemon or lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Form the Burgers:
Divide the salmon mixture into four equal parts. Shape each portion into a burger patty.
Grill the Burgers:
Preheat your grill or a grill pan to medium-high heat. Oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Grill the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and nicely charred.
Prepare the Avocado Salsa:
While the burgers are grilling, prepare the salsa. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped avocado, poblano pepper, green onions, lemon or lime juice, salt, and pepper. Gently toss to mix without mashing the avocado too much.
Assemble and Serve:
Serve the grilled salmon burgers on your choice of buns (use gluten-free buns if necessary) or on a bed of greens for a low-carb option.
Top each burger with a generous amount of avocado salsa.
