Method

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion and mushrooms in the hot oil until the onion starts to soften, approximately 5 minutes.

  2. Season the vegetable mixture with salt and pepper. Continue to saute until the onions and mushrooms turn brown, around 5 minutes more.

  3. Pour the red wine into the skillet and bring it to a boil. Use a wooden spoon to scrape off any browned bits of food from the bottom of the pan. Cook and stir until the wine evaporates, approximately 2 minutes. Remove from heat.

  4. Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grate.

  5. Cook the burgers on the grill until they are firm, hot in the center, and the color changes from pink to grey, about 8 to 10 minutes per side for medium-well. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 150 degrees F (65 degrees C).

  6. In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, and espresso until smooth to make aioli.

  7. Spread the aioli on each hamburger bun. Place a beef patty on the bottom bun, top with a slice of Monterey Jack cheese, 1/4 of the onion-mushroom mixture, and 1/4 cup of arugula. Cover the burger with the top bun. Repeat with the remaining burgers.

To create the ultimate Seahawk Burger, start with fresh, high-quality salmon. You'll want to finely chop the salmon and mix it with breadcrumbs, egg, and a blend of seasonings. Form the mixture into patties and grill them until they are cooked through and slightly charred on the outside.

While the salmon patties are cooking, prepare the tartar sauce. Combine mayonnaise, pickles, capers, lemon juice, and a dash of hot sauce in a bowl. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to use.

Now it's time to assemble your Seahawk Burger. Start with a toasted bun, add a layer of fresh lettuce, and place the grilled salmon patty on top. Generously spoon the homemade tartar sauce over the patty, and finish off with a slice of tomato and red onion. The combination of textures and flavors is simply divine.
