Yummy Salmon Burgers

So one of my husband's favorites that I make is salmon burgers, there is an awesome recipe at www.allrecipes.com for it. It's pretty easy to make, of course I make some substitutions though! There are not a lot of recipes that I follow verbatim unless it's baking or desserts!

The instructions are as follows: (I put my substitutions beside it)

• 1 (16 ounce) can salmon, drained and flaked (I use the bag of salmon you buy at walmart, just take the skin off!)
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
• 1/4 cup Italian seasoned dry bread crumbs
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 pinch red pepper flakes (I don't use this since I don't like heat and neither does my 1 year old!)
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
•  
• 2 tablespoons light mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 pinch dried basil

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, mix together the salmon, eggs, parsley, onion, breadcrumbs, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon of basil, and red pepper flakes. Form into 6 firmly packed patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the patties, and cook for 4 minutes per side, or until nicely browned.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and a pinch of basil. Use as a sauce for your patties.

I really do recommend the mayonnaise, it gives it that extra kick of flavor! I usually put the food in the food processor for just second so it's more ground! I will be posting many more yummy recipes as I make them, they will be put in my recipes tab so that you will not have to scroll through a bunch of posts to find them!
