Canned salmon is much less expensive than fresh salmon and involves much less prep work, too. Keep some in the pantry and you're ready to make a quick burger anytime.
Ingredients :
2 large peach(es), diced
1 small jalapeno pepper(s), cored, seeded and finely chopped (do not touch seeds with your bare hands)
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 tsp sugar
1/8 tsp table salt
2 Tbsp cilantro, fresh, chopped
Burgers
14 3/4 oz canned salmon, red, drained, broken into small chunks
1 medium scallion(s), finely chopped
2 1/2 tsp lemon zest
1 large egg(s), beaten
1/4 tsp black pepper
3 1/2 Tbsp dried bread crumbs, whole-wheat variety
Method :
To prepare salsa, combine peaches, jalapeno and lemon juice in a medium bowl.
Add sugar and mix well. Stir in salt and cilantro and toss gently to mix; set aside.
Preheat grill.
To prepare burgers, place salmon in a medium bowl and mash salmon bones with the back of a fork.
Add scallion, lemon zest, egg, pepper and bread crumbs; mix well.
Shape salmon mixture into four 1-inch-thick patties.
Gently place burgers in a grill basket or on a grill rack and grill at medium-high heat for 3 to 5 minutes.
Flip burgers and grill until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes more.
Serve salmon burgers with peach salsa on the side.
Yields 1 burger and about 1/2 cup of salsa per serving.
Notes :
The burgers can be broiled instead of grilled: Coat a broiler rack with cooking spray, preheat broiler and broil 4 inches from the heat for 2 to 3 minutes per side.
