Easy & Healthy Salmon Burgers

These salmon burgers are very easy to make (and they need to be, because I rarely have time to cook anything complicated) and a healthy alternative too. Even my picky kids love them - which, believe, me, is a huge bonus.

Scroll down to find out how I make them:



Ingredients (for 5 to 6 burgers):

• 2 salmon fillets (as shown below)
• 1 medium onion
• 1 slice of bread (you can use fresh bread, but this recipe is great to use bread leftovers if you have them around)
• 1egg
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil 
• 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
• salt and pepper to taste

 

Instructions:  

Shred the salmon fillets (using a fork or your hands) and add the lemon juice.

Run the bread and the onion through the food processor and add them to the salmon, together with the egg.

Season with salt and pepper and mix everything together.

In a non-stick pan, heat the olive oil. Using your hands, separate the mixture into portions and shape them into burgers. 

Cook until they are golden-brown on both sides.

We love them with rice (wild rice would be great, but my kids won't eat it) or mashed potatoes and a salad, but these salmon burgers are very versatile, so you can serve them with almost any side dish of your choice.

Enjoy, and happy Monday!
