Salmon Burgers

We know how good all the Omega-3 in salmon is for you, but the best part of salmon is how much we love the taste. We cook salmon very frequently and I'm always on the lookout for a new way to serve it so that I can blog about it. I already have 5 other salmon recipes posted and I'm happy to add another.

I finely diced 1/2 pound of fresh salmon fillet and combined it with some chopped red and yellow bell peppers, panko breadcrumbs, and minced garlic. I added another mixture of beaten egg white with soy sauce, lemon juice and salt and mixed everything well. I formed this mixture into two patties and grilled them indoors on my grill pan. I put them on my homemade hamburger buns and topped them with red onion slices, lettuce, tomato slices and a nice dollop of cilantro mayo.

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced bell pepper, panko, garlic and salmon. In a small bowl, combine the egg white, soy sauce, lemon juice and salt. Add the liquid mixture to the bowl with the salmon and toss gently until well incorporated. Form the mixure into two equal patties and set aside.

To make the cilantro mayo, combine all the ingredients in the bowl of a food processor. Process until well combined and smooth.
