Servings: persons

400 grams AP wheat flour
4 grams dry yeast
125 milliliters buttermilk
125 milliliters lukewarm water
1 egg
1 tablespoon sugar
1 good pinch of coarse sea salt + some for sprinkling on top
1 egg yolk + 1 tbsp water for brushing
350 grams salmon fillet (frozen works fine, too)
1 egg
5 tablespoons homemade breadcrumbs
1 handful cilantro or flat leaf parsley, chopped
zest of 1/2 lemon , optional
some sesame seeds to sprinkle on burgers and buns
1 ripe mango
1 small dollop of butter and some brown sugar per slice of mango

1
To prepare the buns: In a large bowl, combine water, buttermilk, yeast, sugar, and flour with a fork. Allow flour to hydrate for 10 minutes.
2
Add salt. Knead dough (I prefer by hand) until elastic. Let prove, covered with a cloth, in a greased bowl for about 2 hours at room temperature.
3
Roll out dough to a rough rectangular shape, and fold all 4 sides toward the middle to obtain a smaller rectangle. Place into bowl rim side down and let prove another 1/2 hour or so.
4
Shape 8 buns and place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Let prove for another hour. Preheat your oven to 180u00b0C/350u00b0F.
5
Brush buns with egg yolk and sprinkle with sesame seeds and some sea salt. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
6
For the burgers: When buns are shaped and wait for baking, dice and chop salmon to obtain a somewhat coarse mince.
7
In a medium bowl, using your hands or a fork, combine salmon with egg, breadcrumbs, chopped cilantro or parsley, salt, pepper, and lemon zest. If necessary, add some more breadcrumbs. Refrigerate for 15-30 minutes.
8
Shape mixture into 4 burgers, and generously sprinkle with sesame seeds on both sides. Refrigerate again for 15 minutes.
9
In a large frying pan, fry until golden brown at medium heat, about 20 minutes (I use store-bought clarified butter).
10
When buns are ready, take out of the oven and increase the heat to 200u00b0C/400u00b0F. Place mango slices (after peeling and cutting the fruit lengthwise) with a small dollop of butter and some brown sugar on top on a baking tray or in an oven proof dish. Bake for 5 minutes, then grill for another 3-5 minutes until slightly browned.
11
Serve burgers in a bun with a slice of grilled mango on top, maybe with some mayonnaise or wasabi sauce by the side.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
