Cilantro Lime Salmon Burgers with Avocado Salsa

Served with Salad, Baked Zucchini Fries & Sorell. (optional example)
6 patties  in 15 minutes

INGREDIENTS

• Salmon Burgers
• 1 lb salmon filet (skin removed)
• 1 cup fresh breadcrumbs (see note)
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup soy free mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp mustard
• salt, pepper
• olive oil for greasing the pan or grill

Avocado Salsa:

• 1 large avocado, chopped
• 1/3 cup chopped red onion
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 lime, juiced (I use the  zest sometimes to)
• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• Sea salt and pepper For taste

INSTRUCTIONS
Salmon Burgers:

1. Chop the salmon filet into small pieces (about 1/4 inch) and transfer it into a medium mixing bowl. I puréed my salmon.
2. Gently stir in the rest of the ingredients.
3. Let the mixture rest for 5-10 minutes.
4. Heat a little oil in a large non-stick grill pan over medium heat.
5. Divide the salmon mixture into 6 and form neat patties (can use a 1/2 cup as a measure). Sauté /grill the patties until browned on both sides and just cooked through; about 4 minutes on each side.
6. OR I had placed my patties under the Broiler for 15min.

Avocado Salsa:

1. Combine all the salsa ingredients together and mix well. Note: I prefer to use use fresh breadcrumbs, although you may use Panko or Gluten free crumbs instead. The crumbs keep the burgers moist and tender.
2. To make a cup of fresh breadcrumbs, just place 4 slices of slightly stale (at least one-day old) bread in a food processor and process until breadcrumbs form.
3. Lastly if you prefer to just have Salmon Patties without bread or buns simply serve with Steamed Veggies and maybe a Grain like Quinoa, Couscous or Brown Grain Rice

Enjoy!
