Salmon Burgers (Lemon)

A quick, delicious and nutritious way of serving up canned salmon. You can enjoy this with or without the dressing, in a hamburger bun, or with a salad.

Burgers:
1 (16 oz) can salmon, drained and flaked
2 eggs
¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
2 Tbsp. onion, finely chopped
¼ cup Italian seasoned dry breadcrumbs
2 Tbsp. lemon juice, freshly squeezed
½ tsp. dried basil
1 pinch red pepper flakes
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil

Dressing:
2 Tbsp. mayonnaise
1 Tbsp. lemon juice, freshly squeezed
1 pinch dried basil

In a medium bowl, mix together the salmon, eggs, parsley, onion, breadcrumbs, 2 Tbsp. of lemon juice, ½ tsp. of basil and red pepper flakes. Form into 6 firmly packed patties, about ½” thick.

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.

In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, 1 Tbsp. of lemon juice and a pinch of basil. Use as a sauce for your patties.
