Memorial Day is right around the corner! If you’re still drawing up your holiday menu, I highly suggest you add these lemongrass-ginger salmon burgers. With garnishes like pickled cucumber and cilantro cream, these burgers are sure to be the talk of your party.

What I love most about these salmon burgers is that they’re not afraid to be a little different. With lemongrass, ginger, and lime in the patties, no one is going to accuse you of playing it safe with this recipe.

To assemble the burgers, you spread roasted red chili paste on a toasted bun and top with a salmon patty, the cilantro cream, the cucumbers, and some sliced red onion. The pickled cucumbers add a bright, crisp element, while the cool cilantro cream helps balance the chili paste.

If you’re looking for an upgrade on your standard barbecue fare, these burgers are for you.
