You can fill your grill with more than just beefy burgers! Try a batch of these salmon burgers—they’re healthy, super simple to make, and fun to eat. Serves 4
Ingredients:
1 lb (500 g) skinless wild salmon fillet, cubed
½ cup (125 mL) cilantro
¼ cup (60 mL) minced red onion
2 Tbsp (30 mL) grated fresh ginger (peeled)
2 tsp (10 mL) soy sauce
4 hamburger buns
Your favorite hamburger toppings
Directions:
Preheat your barbecue to its highest setting. Place all the ingredients in a food processor and pulse the mixture until everything just comes together in a coarse mixture. Do not purée it; a rough chop is all it needs. Form the mixture into four large patties (it will seem loose but as it cooks it will firm up).
Carefully place the patties on the grill and sear them until they are cooked through, about 4 minutes per side.
To serve:
Cut four warmed or toasted soft hamburger buns in half. Slide each burger onto a bun and serve them alongside the toppings.
