Salmon Burgers - Mindee W.

This is a fun way to change up your salmon dish! This is a recipe from Paula Dean (Food Network). I changed a few things to fit what I had on hand and we loved it!

Ingredients
3/4 cup red bell pepper, diced
3/4 cup bread crumbs
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 pounds salmon fillets, skinned and finely chopped (I used 4 fillets from a Costco bag and chopped in my food processor)
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
Cooking spray
Dill Mayonnaise, recipe follows
8 buttered and toasted sandwich buns
8 lettuce leaves
8 slices tomato

Directions
In a medium bowl, combine peppers, bread crumbs, garlic, and salmon.
In a small bowl, combine egg, soy sauce, lemon juice, and salt; add to pepper mixture, tossing gently to combine. Form mixture into 8 patties (this made more than 8 patties so I just froze the remaining to cook another day).
Lightly coat a grill pan or skillet with cooking spray. Heat over medium-high heat until hot. Grill or cook patties, 5 minutes per side, or until desired degree of doneness. Spread Dill Mayonnaise evenly over toasted buns. Top each with a lettuce leaf, tomato slice, and salmon patty. Cover with tops of buns.

Dill Mayonnaise:
1 cup mayonnaise
2 cloves garlic, minced or garlic powder to taste
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 tsp. dill weed
In a small bowl, combine all ingredients. Cover and chill.
Yields: 1 cup

This is a yummy and easy recipe to put together. My husband and I had this at a ward pot luck this summer and he had a fit over it, so our neighbor Crisanne was sweet enough to give me the recipe which she actually got from our other neighbor Chris. I am lucky to come from a ward with such wonderful cooks!!!

1 can red kidney beans
1 can pinto beans
1 can lima beans
1 can pork and beans
Do Not Drain Preceding beans

1 can cut green beans, drained
2 cups catsup
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 onion, diced
5-6 slices of bacon, cut up (I added more cause we like bacon!)
1 lb. ground hamburger browned

Mix all together and cook in a crock pot for 4-5 hours. Delicious!!!
