Salmon Burgers

If you love Salmon, these burgers will be your new BFF. While I do love seasoned salmon fillet (pan grilled or baked), I am always trying different ideas to add variety and not make the food look/ feel boring. These burgers are loaded with nutrition and flavor, and are so filling. Add them to your salad or sandwich or eat them as is. They are super easy to make and are a great make ahead meal option for a busy week. Meal prep is so important to stay away from store bought and packaged food. Summer can get very busy and these burgers are here to help you eat well, nourish yourself when you don’t have enough time for grocery shopping and cooking. Few simple ingredients and less than 30 minutes is all you need to make these.
Hope you enjoy making and eating them as much as I did. xx
