Herbed Salmon Burgers
Canned salmon is almost always wild salmon. When
salmon is processed for canning, its bones become softened and
edible, and a source of dietary calcium. Here salmon is blended
with oats (for body and soluble fiber) and grated fresh apple (for
moistness, soluble fiber, and a pleasing contrast to the rich salmon)
to make burgers. The burger mixture is also seasoned with fresh
herbs and "lite" teriyaki sauce. The "lite" on
the label usually indicates that the sauce is about 50% lower in
sodium than a standard teriyaki sauce. You can serve the burgers
simply on whole-grain rolls, with tomato slices and lettuce, or
top them with salsa or relish.
1 tablespoon light mayonnaise
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup quick-cooking oats
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons chopped mint
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1 small apple, peeled and grated
1 can (14-3/4 ounces) sockeye salmon, not drained
3 tablespoons "lite" teriyaki sauce
1 In a large bowl, combine
the mayonnaise and lemon juice. Add the oats, stirring until moistened.
2 Add the basil, mint,
scallions, and apple. Stir in the salmon and teriyaki sauce until
evenly combined. Shape the burger mixture into four 1-inch-thick
patties.
3 Spray a large nonstick
skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Cook the burgers over medium
heat until brown and heated through, about 4 minutes per side.
