WHY IT’S LIGHT Broiling is a fat-free way to cook salmon burgers; these are perked up with lemon, horseradish, and scallions and served on toasted whole-wheat buns. Yogurt flavored with fresh dill makes a very delicious—and low-fat—topping.

　　

Ingredients

serves 4

　　1 pound skinless salmon fillet, finely diced (see below)

　　1 tablespoon prepared horseradish

　　1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest, plus 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

　　1 large egg, lightly beaten

　　3 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced

　　2 tablespoons plain dried breadcrumbs

　　Coarse salt and ground pepper

　　1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt

　　1 tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh dill

　　4 whole-wheat hamburger buns, split and toasted

　　Romaine lettuce, for serving

　　

Step 1

Heat broiler, with rack 4 inches from heat. In a medium bowl, combine salmon, horseradish, lemon zest and juice, egg, scallions, breadcrumbs, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper; mix gently with a fork.

　　

Step 2

Form salmon mixture into four 3 1/2-by-1-inch patties; place on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil without turning until browned on top and opaque throughout, 6 to 7 minutes.

　　

Step 3

Meanwhile, combine yogurt and dill in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper. Serve burgers on buns with yogurt-dill sauce and lettuce.

　　

careful cutting

Step 4

To finely dice salmon without crushing it, start by thinly slicing the fillet with a sharp knife. Cut the slices lengthwise into strips, then cut crosswise.
