Instructions:

Cut the salmon fillet into small pieces and place them in a food processor

Pulse the salmon until it becomes a coarse mixture

Mix well to combine

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat

Add the salmon patties and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and golden brown

While the salmon burgers are cooking, prepare the slaw by combining green cabbage, red cabbage, and grated carrot in a bowl

In a separate bowl, make the avocado aioli by mixing mashed avocado, lemon juice, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper if using

Toast the hamburger buns in the skillet or toaster until they are lightly browned

To assemble the burgers, spread a generous amount of avocado aioli on the bottom half of each bun

Place a salmon patty on top of the aioli, followed by a portion of cabbage slaw

Top with the other half of the bun, and your Pan-Fried Salmon Burgers with Cabbage Slaw and Avocado Aioli are ready to serve!
