3/4 cup (st.) - 180 ml.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Cut 3/4 of the salmon fillet into 0.6 cm thick pieces. Place them in a large bowl. Chop the remaining salmon into random pieces; place them in a food processor along with the mustard, mayonnaise, lemon juice, lemon zest, and cayenne pepper. Blend until a paste forms. Transfer the salmon puree to the bowl with the pieces. Add the onion, 2 tablespoons of breadcrumbs, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper to taste. Gently mix.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and brush with olive oil. Divide the salmon mixture into 4 mounds on the parchment paper. Using damp hands, form patties 10 cm in diameter and 2 cm thick. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

  3. Preheat the oven to broil. Spread the remaining 1 cup of breadcrumbs on a plate. Coat both sides of the salmon patties in them. Heat olive oil in a large nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the patties (in batches, if necessary) and cook for 3-4 minutes, until golden brown, adjusting the heat as needed.
  4. Flip and cook for 3-4 minutes, until the other side is browned and the patties are firm in the middle. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate; season with salt.
  5. Meanwhile, place the buns, cut side up, on a baking sheet fitted with a wire rack and toast them for 1-2 minutes. Serve the patties on the buns; top with tartar sauce and sprinkle with arugula.
