Salmon Burger Recipe

by Renaissancetrophywife.com

One of the hardest things about a salmon burger recipe is keeping it all together while it is on the grill or cooking in the pan. It is no nice watching your fish fall through the grates of your BBQ grill.

With too much binder your burger will turn out soggy and with too much breadcrumbs it will be all you taste. You really need to find the right balance between fish, binder and breadcrumbs.

This healthy salmon burger recipe is a quick, delicious and nutritious way of serving up canned salmon. You can enjoy this with or without the dressing, in a hamburger or brioche bun, or with a salad.


Healthy Salmon Burger Recipe

Ingredients:

*Makes 4-5 regular burgers

12 oz (2 x 6 oz cans) skinless, boneless salmon packed in water

6 oz (1/2 box) very soft tofu

1 packet (about 50 grams) plain instant oatmeal

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp dill

1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper

1/2 cup regular cheerios, crushed fine (you can also use bread crumbs or crushed croutons, but watch the sodium content)

Brioche buns (or halved hot dog buns for sliders)

*Oatmeal adds dietary fiber to your burger and they offer several health benefits such as reducing cholesterol. They also help the burgers retain moisture and keep their shape better.

*Tofu is used instead of oil or mayo to help keep the burger mixture together. Tofu is low in fat- especially saturated fats, it is a great source of iron, protein and B vitamins, and iron.

*Fishy taste is reduced in this recipe so the texture is lighter than normal.

*Prep: 10mins
Cooking: 10mins

*Now I'd like to tell you about my favorite diet program that uses a lot of the healthy lower GI foods: Isabel de los Rios' 'The Diet Solution Program'.

The Diet Solution Program favours a long term health orientated approach to fat loss, but not offering anyone a quick fix to their weight troubles. It has loads of valuable data and research to support its approach. I personally investigated the program thoroughly and my mum has been using it for a while now. I have to say she got some great results.

The nutrition plan is one of the healthiest we have seen, a strong core focus on vegetables, fruits, vitamin dense foods, lean proteins, select dairy produce and a clear approach to not expecting one diet to work for all body types. So give it a try and let me know how you’re doing.*
