California Roll Burger is all the flavors you love of the California Roll in hearty burger form. This sushi/burger fusion is better than any sushi burrito.
I really can’t figure out how to explain to you in words how much I’m in lust with this burger.
It’s all the taste of a California roll, but has the heartiness of a burger. I’m not going to lie – I didn’t have very high hopes for it.
What is a California Roll Burger?
This was a simple idea I thought of after meeting a friend for sushi last week. Yes, I was excited to see what the outcome would be, but the more the process went along the more I started having doubts.
I was concerned that the cucumber and sprouts would kinda drown the flavors I was hoping for.
I was so, so very wrong.
The taste combination is off the charts fantastic. You definitely don’t have to be a California Roll lover, or even a sushi lover to like this burger.
Trust me, trust me.
This burger is the bomb.
Hands down, one of the best things I’ve made in a while. It’s definitely a keeper, and easy enough for a weeknight dinner.
I could seriously drink the wasabi mayo, and since making it I’ve found so many things that it’s good on!
Here’s the printable-
California Roll Burger

Ingredients
- 2 salmon fillets (about 1 to 1/2 pounds), skin removed
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup bread crumbs
- 4 tsp sesame oil, divided
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp ginger powder
- 1/2 avocado, peeled and pitted
- 1/2 cup mayo
- Wasabi paste, to taste
- Hamburger buns
- Alfalfa sprouts
- Cucumber slices
Instructions
Dice salmon and run through a food processor just until almost ground, but not completely. You don't want to over process it.
Combine the salmon, eggs, bread crumbs, 2 tsp sesame oil, soy sauce and ginger with your hands. Form into four patties, cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Add the avocado, mayo and about 1 tsp of wasabi paste in a food processor. Pulse until smooth, continuing to add wasabi until you're happy with it. Cover and refrigerate.
Add the remaining 2 tsp sesame oil to a large frying pan over medium heat.
When the oil begins to get hot (not smoking!) add the burgers and cook about 3-4 minutes on each side, until done.
Add to buns, top with sprouts, cucumber slices and avocado mayo.

March 4, 2014 at 10:24 PMHeck yeah, I want this! I’m in love just from the pictures. And from reading “salmon” and “wasabi.” I’m going to try to squeeze this into my busy dinner schedule very soon.
