Get that gastropub vibe going at home with these easy sticky salmon burgers served in brioche rolls. Recipe commissioned by Baxters Deli Toppers #GetTopping campaign – find out more below.  

Sticky Salmon Burgers in Brioche Buns with Pickled Red Onion Rings

My favourite consequence of the street food and burger trend in recent years has been the appearance of golden brioche rolls in supermarkets. They’re soft and squishy to eat and look amazing whether you serve out the pack or chargrill stripes on top for an authentic diner look.

Typically these would be used for presenting American style burgers but I’ve gone for a fishy fusion flavour instead.

Our freezer nearly always contains some salmon fillets for quick family meals. Sealed in individual bags, they are very easy to defrost in a hurry by placing in a sink or big bowl filled with cool water. To get the sticky finish and tasty flavour on these salmon fillets I have merely swiped them with a dollop of Ketjap Manis – a type of thick sweet Indonesian soya sauce – you’ll usually find it in the world foods aisle.

Whilst the salmon fillets sizzle in the oven you can heat up the griddle. Once it’s baking hot, simply lay each half of brioche roll on top and leave for 2 minutes or so to sear pleasing tiger stripes on the surface. Beware of moving the brioche around too much or you won’t get clear black stripes. My tip is to use a fork to prise up one edge and peep underneath and carefully lever back down (without nudging sideways) if you still need more pronounced stripes.

The perfect foil for hot filled brioche rolls is something sweet and picked. You might try any of the Baxters Deli Toppers range here but today it’s the turn of my personal favourite – pickled red onion rings.

Apart from rubbing the salmon fillets with Ketjap Manis and searing your buns, this is more an assembly job than anything. Perfect for easy cooking when friends or family are visiting. Print out the easy reference recipe sheet below.

    Now this I like. The shopping list is growing, but I’d love to make these tomorrow. I love the idea of those dinky little slaw jars-
