Tipful Tuesday: The Burger Alternative

My good friend Chris is always working up fun new recipes and searching for healthy alternatives to our “not-so-healthy” favorites.

He recently shared a yummy recipe that is quick and delicious: the Salmon Burger.  Salmon, more specifically, wild Alaskan salmon, is a great source of omega 3’s which are very beneficial for the heart and our skin.  Check out this delicious recipe and see those fine lines start disappearing!

Salmon burgers:

• 1/4 cup light soy sauce
• 3 TBSP black sesame seeds
• 2 green onions chopped
• 2 TBSP sambal chili paste
• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs

Combine above in a food processor

Form 3 patties

Cook on medium head in a non-stick skillet sprayed with cooking spray. Cook approximately 5 min per side

Wasabi Mayo:

• 1/2 cup light mayo
• 3 TBSP wasabi paste
• 3 TBSP soy sauce

• Wisk together (update proportions to taste)
• Slice english cucumbers and avocado very thinly
• Assemble burger on wheat bun, top with Wasabi mayo and vegetables
