Salmon Burgers
Serves: 4
Recently I was a guest at a golf club where the chef cooked
salmon burgers, served as you would meat burgers between toasted hamburger buns or an English
muffin with lettuce, tomato, thinly sliced Vidalia onions, and red relish (which is similar to
sweet red pepper relish). They were a delicious, light, and healthy alternative to a
traditional burger.

Preparation
Heat 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of the oil in a medium nonstick skillet over
medium heat. Add the scallions and cook for 2 minutes, or until translucent. Increase the heat
to medium-high. Add the lemon juice and cook for 4 minutes, or until almost all the liquid
evaporates. Transfer to a bowl to cool.
Place the raw salmon in a food processor and pulse until coarsely
ground. Add to the scallions. Mix in the egg, dill, and pepper. Form into 4 equal patties.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon (15 ml) oil in a large nonstick skillet
over medium-high heat. Sear the patties for about 2 minutes per side, or until golden brown
and cooked through. Serve.
