Summer salmon burgers
Hey guys, I have a great recipe for you that just so happens to also be very healthy and oh so yummy!
I'll start by saying I am not a health nut, but I do try to take care of myself. I also like to eat though, so whenever I post a recipe you can bet that it's not going to be one of those recipes that is good for you but tastes like crap.
So enjoy my delicious salmon burgers!
I used a large salmon filet this time but sometimes I like to use canned wild Alaskan salmon (16oz.). (DO NOT use farmed fish people! Do you know how many fish lice and potential diseases those fish can have?!?! EW!)
Anyway, make sure you remove any skin (obviously) and then you'll want to break apart the filet with your hands so you can pull out any bones.
If you use canned salmon you wont have skin or bones, but break apart any large chunks all the same until you have a chunky paste. You don't want to puree it, some chunks are good! However, the smaller the pieces the better the burger will stick together.
Mix in parsley, basil, cayenne pepper, onion, eggs, breadcrumbs and lemon juice
(See recipe page for exact measurements).
Stir together well.
Form into 6 tight patties.
Warm a pan with some olive oil and fry burgers until each side is browned and burger is warm through. You can do these on the grill, but I would recommend using a burger cage so they don't fall apart and into your grill.
