Salmon Burgers

Yum! Yum! Yum! These were so yummy & incredibly easy to make. I'm thinking about making batches & batches of them & freezing them so we have them on hand all the time, especially after the little one is hatched (they were that good). I grew up with the ever-dreaded salmon patties (canned salmon anyone?) so I was a bit hesitant to try this, but I figured if Real Simple has done it, then it must be alright. Alright it most definitely was!

Salmon Burgers

Ingredients

1 1/4 pounds skinless salmon fillet cut into 1-inch pieces

4 scallions thinly sliced (I actually used fresh chives from our garden instead)

Kosher salt & ground black pepper

Buns/rolls of your liking

Directions

You can either grill or pan fry these babies (we pan fried tonight due to lack of time so I'm sure they'll be even more amazing next time on the grill!) Pulse the salmon chunks in a food processor until coarsely chopped & somewhat chunky, then add the scallions (chives) to mix. Shape the salmon into 4 nice sized patties & dash with salt & pepper. Grill, turning once & cook until opaque (do not squish the burgers). Serve on a bun with whatever condiment you like- we plopped on a heap of homemade guac, cheese, tomatoes, & sprouts.
