Our Groovy Kitchen: Sylvie's Salmon Burgers

Sylvie's Salmon Burgers

I make these burgers thick, so they are extremely filling as is.

They also go well with a nice white sauce over top, however, I eat them most as is.

Believe me, the flavors in this burger make it delicious all on its own.

Also, they are so easy to make.

You simply throw everything together in a bowl, shape them and cook them in a pan

with a little EVOO.

Coming up with healthy, delicious foods doesn't always have to be so time consuming.

I bought portioned salmon already cut and cleaned.

When purchasing salmon, always pay attention to two things.

1/ The color - it should always be a bright, vibrant color. It fades as it ages.

2/ The smell - it shouldn't smell really fishy at all. Fresh = mild smelling.

To start, you need to cook your salmon and then let it cool.

It is up to you how you want to cook it. I usually put mine in the oven with some seasoning

and olive oil. You can also boil it or pan fry it. It doesn't take salmon long to cook at all.

Put it aside and let it cool completely.

Once your fish is cooled down, flake it up into a medium sized bowl.

This is where we are going to add the other ingredients to it.
I add everything except the flax.
Just add the flaxseed in bits in case you don't need it all.
You want to easily shape the burger is all, so it doesn't fall apart.

Now it is time to shape your burgers. I use my hands and make four good sized burgers

with the mixture.

Place them into the pan with some extra virgin olive oil and cook them on

medium heat until brown on each side. Remember, your salmon is already cooked so we're just

browning them and heating them through.

These are delicious with a salad on the side, sautéed vegetables and/or brown rice.

Be creative with them, changing up some ingredients. Try them with a nice lemon sauce or

eat them just as they are like I do.

They are sure to be delicious any way you try them.

Here is the recipe in full showing the ingredients and very simple instructions:

Super simple to make, delicious and healthy too!

Ingredients

2 salmon filets, cooked, cooled & flaked (about 5-6 oz each)

1/4 cup red onion, diced

1/4 cup celery (about 1 stalk), diced

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

1 tsp black pepper, 1/2 tsp sea salt

1-1/2 tsp italian seasoning

2 large eggs

1/4 cup ground flaxseed

1-1/2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Method

Flake your cooled off salmon into a bowl.

Add your red onion, celery, parsley, seasonings and eggs and stir it around really good.

Now add your flaxseed, half at a time to figure out if you need it all or not.

I find the quality of the fish depends on just how much you need.

You basically want to tighten it up enough to shape burgers so they stay intact.

It makes the burgers easier to handle.

Now shape your burgers with your hands and place them in the pan with the extra virgin

olive oil. Cook them on medium heat until brown on both sides and heated through evenly.

You can serve with a nice lemon sauce or eat them as is like I do.

Notes

Salmon burgers freeze very well

Thaw and warm in the oven until heated through

Stays well in the refrigerator 2-3 days

Would it be OK to use dry parsley and if yes how much do you think?

What a terrific recipe and so easy. I cook in coconut oil these days and when I cook my salmon I use a smokey maple seasoning, it adds an amazing flavour! I'm so looking forward to trying these.

Big hugs
