Salmon Burgers


First off I have to say everytime it comes to taking a picture of food I wish I had a nicer camera. My camera just can not take a decent food picture or regular picture really. Anyway moving on...I LOVE this recipe!! Seriously??!! When your kids are going wild for it AND it's super healthy what more is there?? My children loved these burgers and devoured them really quick. They are normal kids with picky appetites, and in this house being picky can leave you starving...eat it or starve that's my motto. :)
Straight out of the Biggest Loser cookbook, how many times must I say how much I love the book. So good so simple, ok I'll stop ranting now... I'm sure you get the point.

Ingredients:
1 lb boneless skinless salmon
1/4 c minced sweet onion
1/4 c chopped fresh parsley
4 t horseradish
1/2 t low sodium Old Bay seasoning
4 Tb low fat mayo
4 whole grain hamburger buns (I use the whole grain sandwich thin buns- I don't like all that bread)
lettuce
tomato

Cut the salmon into cubes and place in food processor, pulse until the salmon is about the consistency of ground beef. Transfer to a mixing bowl and stir in the onion, parsley, 2 t horseradish, and the Old Bay seasoning.

Divide the mixture into four equal parts and shape into patties. Cook them in a nonstick skillet for 2 to 3 mins per side.

Meanwhile, mix the mayo with the remaining 2t horseradish. To assemble: Spread the buns with the horseradish mayo mixture (about 1 TB each), top with patties, lettuce, and tomato.

The only thing I did different in my kids case was use regular mayo as the spread for their buns. This recipe makes 4 servings.
Each serving has 362 calories, 27g protein, 27g carbs (which depends on the bun also), 16g fat.


GOOOOOOOOD STUFF.

Yumm! We love Salmon in our house. I've actually bought the salmon burger patties they sell at Costco but I LOVE onion and all the extra stuff too so I'm sure these would be much better!!
