Salmon creates a fresh, lighter burger that satisfies a coastal appetite.

Try this simple, canned recipe:

Ingredients:

• One 14.75 oz. can of salmon (we used this one, but any brand will work)

• 1/2 tsp. lemon zest

• 1/2 lemons, juiced

• 2 tsp. basil

• 1/4 cup bread crumbs or Panko (I’ve linked my favorite)

• 1 tsp. black pepper

• 2 eggs

• 2 tbsp. chopped onion

• 1/2 tsp. salt

Directions:

Combine all ingredients to make patties. Cook for 4 minutes on each side on medium heat.
