Ingredients

• salmon fillets - 200 grams
• white miso paste - 2 tablespoons
• soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
• honey - 1 teaspoon
• ginger (grated) - 1 teaspoon
• garlic (minced) - 1 clove
• sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• panko breadcrumbs - 1/4 cup

• salt - to taste
• black pepper - to taste
• burger buns - 2
• lettuce leaves - 2
• sliced cucumber - 1/2
• mayo - 2 tablespoons
• rice vinegar - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine the miso paste, soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sesame oil to create a marinade.
2. Add the salmon fillets to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated, and let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
3. After marinating, preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
4. Remove the salmon from the marinade and sprinkle with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
5. Grill the salmon for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until cooked through and slightly charred.
6. While the salmon is grilling, mix mayo and rice vinegar in a small bowl to make a miso mayo.
7. Toast the burger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes until golden.
8. Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the grilled salmon, sliced cucumber, and a generous dollop of miso mayo.
9. Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
