Ingredients




500 g salmon filet, fresh or frozen, skinless and boneless
1 cup cooked amaranth (rinsed and strained well)
1heaped tablespoon horseradish sauce
3 tablespoons capers
2 tablespoons breadcrumbs for coating and 2 for adding to the burger mixture
3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt, plus plenty of black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil for the slaw, plus a little more for frying
250 g radish, grated, sliced or spiralized
1 tablespoon dill, finely chopped
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Preparation

1 If you are using frozen salmon filets leave them in a strainer to get rid of excess water and squeeze any remaining water out. 2 Chop up the fish roughly and pulse in a blender to obtain a smooth mixture.  Season, add the amaranth, horseradish, breadcrumbs and stir well.  Fold in the capers.  Form thick (about 2 cm) burgers and coat in the remaining breadcrumbs.  Heat up about 2 tablespoons of oil and fry the burgers for 3 minutes on each side on a low/medium heat. 3 To make the radish slaw, grate, spiralize or finely slice the radishes, add the dill, lemon juice, oil and seasoning, and stir well to combine. 4 Serve the burgers with the radish slaw in your favourite burger buns.  Yields 6 large burgers.
