A quick and easy dinner idea made from leftover, frozen or canned salmon.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups salmon cooked, canned (or cooked frozen)
  • ¾ cup mashed potatoes
  • 1 Tbsp mayonnaise heaping tablespoonful
  • 1 Tbsp parsley chopped
  • 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil more as needed
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Place the salmon and mashed potato into a large bowl.
  • Add the salt and pepper, and using a fork, press the salmon into small pieces. Mix the fish and potato together once the fish is completely taken apart.
  • Add the mayonnaise and mix well. Next add the chopped parsley, and make sure the mixture holds together.
  • Divide the mixture into 4 equal balls. (Or make 3 for larger burgers.)
  • Form each ball into a patty, about the size of a bun.
  • Once the olive oil is heated on medium high heat in a sautè pan, add the salmon patties. Cook for about 4 minutes or until golden brown, then flip to cook the other side. Remove and place on paper towel lined plate.
  • Depending on your preferences, you can choose how to assemble your salmon burger. I put a little lemon mayo on the bun, then some lettuce leaves, the salmon patty, more lemon mayo (see recipe in notes.) I then added avocado slices, and a large slice of tomato.
  • You can omit any of the toppings, or make your own creation using your choice of sauce, lettuce and veg.

Notes

LEMON MAYO RECIPE
