These aren't much like burgers, but they are very healthy and seriously delicious. These have a bit of a kick. I served them with roasted red potatoes and they went very well together.
Ingredients
1 to 1.5 lbs. salmon filet, chopped
6 T. mayonnaise
4 tsp. lemon juice
Fresh chives, chopped (if you grab a bunch, about 3/4 inch in diameter)
3 heaping tsp. grainy dijon mustard (depending on taste)
1/4-1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper (depending on how much kick you want)
About 20 crumbled crackers (I like mini stoned wheat thins, but saltines should work fine)
2 medium zuchinni, peeled and grated
Salt to taste (I don't use any, but my husband prefers it)
(Serve on one slice toasted boule)
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350
2. Whisk together mayo, mustard, lemon juice, cayenne pepper, and chives
3. Add grated zuchinni and salmon to mayonnaise mixture
4. Crumble crackers over the mixture and mix; it won't ever form into perfect patties, but if it looks more like a salad than like a burger mixture, add more crackers so that it "holds"
5. Shape into patties and cook in the oven for about 15 minutes
What about canned salmon? Have you tried it that way?
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried canned salmon, but I imagine that it might make it easier to cook (chopping raw salmon can be a PAIN). That being said, Asian grocery stores often sell salmon that is very fresh and, believe it or not, usually cheaper than canned. I also just like the taste of fresh :)
