If you’re like me, making quick healthy food can be a challenge.
I know you want to feed you family well, yet sometimes don’t have the time to do it.
Welcome to my Salmon Burgers made in a second!
I created this recipe when needed to make a dinner in a pinch.
Our family always has a serving of protein (chicken, fish, wild game, beef or pork), some kind of starch (ie rice or yams or potatoes), and a bunch of veggies.
Not having previously prepared any protein, I turned to canned wild salmon and made these burgers.
Salmon burgers made in a second (seemed like that anyways because they didn’t take long at all).
Turned out tasty the first time too – so I wanted to share it with you.
Our family does eat dairy so we served it with slices of melted organic raw milk cheese (from a local farm), pesto and wrapped in large lettuce leaves. Another great idea is having Thai Chili Sauce on hand. Marry’s well with salmon and rice.
Lemon and lime go on everything. So enjoy squeezing some of this into your burgers.
Other kitchen time savers
I did end up soaking the rice in the AM (cuts the cooking time to just 5 min) and had the boys make the veggie plate (saved me time there too)
It was a healthy dinner made in a pinch!
