Salmon Quinoa Burgers
Salmon is my favorite fish, and I love making salmon burgers to switch things up. I have made a few variations of salmon burgers in my books and website, but I had to share this salmon burger recipe I had for lunch in Santa Cruz, California because I loved it.
If you can imagine spending a weekend with a group of food bloggers means eating lots great food, well you’re right. We worked, cooked, took long walks on the beach and ate REALLY well. Jaden, of Steamy Kitchen prepared this dish for us from leftover salmon and quinoa from dinner the night before and it was so darn good I asked her if I could remake it to share with you. I don’t recommend using cooked salmon because they fall apart without having to add a ton of eggs and breadcrumbs, so I tested them and used raw wild salmon instead. The results came out perfect! Here I served them over a simple arugula salad with grapefruit, and a mustard-shallot vinaigrette, but any salad greens would be wonderful here.
Are salmon burgers good for you?
Yes! Salmon is an excellent source of several B vitamins, rich in high-quality protein and is one of the best sources of the long-chain omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. It’s also a good source of potassium which helps control blood pressure and prevent excess fluid retention.
