Quinoa-Salmon Burgers

By Shuger

Ingredients

• 3 to 4 green onions, ends trimmed
• 1 large handful fresh cilantro
• 1 to 2 teaspoons lemon zest (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Herbamare
• freshly ground black pepper
• 1 to 1 1/2 pounds raw wild salmon, skinned and deboned
• 1 cup cooked quinoa

Preparation

Step 1

Using a food processor fitted with the "s" blade process the green onions, cilantro, lemon zest, Herbamare, and black pepper until it is finely minced.

Add the salmon and quinoa and process again until desired consistency. I like to have a few little chunks of salmon still left. You might want to pulse it until you get the consistency you want.

Form into patties and place onto a plate. Heat a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon or so of olive oil and place a few patties in the skillet. I cook only three at a time in a 10-inch skillet. If your pan is hot it should only take 2 to 3 minutes per side to cook. If your pan is not quite heated it will take about 5 minutes per side and they may stick a little.
