THIS SALMON BURGER WILL BE YOUR NEW FAVORITE WAY TO EAT SALMON!
My kids inspired this recipe.
My kids like most, love their burgers. Salmon though? Not so much! I try to get salmon in their diet at least once a week. It's full of beneficial fats for growing brains and of course a wonderful source of protein.
These burgers are a meal the whole family can enjoy. The spices I have used are Indian inspired but I'm dying to try other versions – dill, mustard, thai curry are just a few that I think would work beautifully.
The recipe makes 4 large patties but you can easily make smaller patties and serve them as appetizers or cutlets. Feel free to make a big batch and freeze these as well!
Whether you are having these on a gluten-free bun or wrapped in lettuce, top it off with my avocado chutney and pair it with some masala sweet potato fries for the perfect meal!
