Instructions

For the Green Goddess Sauce: Combine all of the ingredients in the food processor and process until thoroughly combined. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
For the Salmon Burgers: Place the salmon in the bowl of a food process and pulse until coarsely ground, leaving some texture in the meat. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shallot, garlic, egg, panko bread crumbs, paprika, salt, pepper parsley and basil, mixing to combine thoroughly. Add the salmon and gently combine, taking care not to overmix. Form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties, pressing down lightly to flatten.
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Ensure your skillet is properly preheated or you won’t get that golden-brown crust on your burgers. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil; once hot, add the burgers, and cook until golden-brown, about 3 minutes per side.
To assemble, spread a little of the green goddess dressing on the bottom of your bun. Place the butter lettuce leaves on top, add the burger, sliced avocado and a big dollop of green goddess dressing on top. Repeat with the remaining burgers.
