I teamed up with Shin-sen-gumi to make this burger with a spicy, Japanese twist using their spicy miso! This spicy miso salmon burger will become a staple during grilling season.
If you’re looking for a unique burger option, I recommend making salmon burgers. I often make a variation of this at home but I jazzed it up this time by adding spicy miso into the mix and topping it with a spicy miso aioli (using Kewpie mayonnaise, of course). It’s sweet, spicy, and savory all between two fluffy buns.
You can pick up Shin-sen-gumi’s spicy miso at the Shin-sen-gumi 2 Go in Gardena and Shin-sen-gumi Fountain Valley restaurant locations. If you aren’t able to get their spicy miso, you can use your favorite hot sauce (like gochujang or sriracha) or shop a different brand of spicy miso that I have in my Pantry or in the “Shop this post” section below.
