Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the rémoulade by combining mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, hot sauce, chopped cornichons, sliced green onions, and chopped parsley in a small bowl. Season the mixture with salt and pepper before whisking it together. Chill the rémoulade in the refrigerator for a minimum of 1 hour or up to 8 hours before serving.

2. 2

   Prepare the seasoning blend for the burgers by combining paprika, black pepper, salt, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne in a small bowl, stirring until well mixed.

3. 3

   Begin by portioning the meat into 4 equal parts, each weighing around 6 ounces. Gently shape each part into a burger that is approximately 3/4-inch thick, then use your thumb to create a deep dent in the center of each patty. Proceed to season one side of every patty with the spice blend, ensuring that you massage the spices thoroughly into the meat for even distribution.
