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
