Canned salmon is much cheaper and involves much less prep work than fresh salmon. It’s perfect for burgers and you get a big calcium boost from the bones, too.

Ingredients

• 2 large peach(es), diced
• 1 small jalapeٌo pepper(s), cored, seeded and finely chopped (do not touch seeds with your bare hands)
• 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
• 1/8 tsp table salt
• 2 Tbsp cilantro, fresh, chopped
• 14 3/4 oz canned salmon, red, drained, broken into small chunks
• 1 medium scallion(s), finely chopped
• 2 1/2 tsp lemon zest
• 1 large egg(s), beaten
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 3 1/2 Tbsp dried bread crumbs, whole wheat
• 1/2 tsp SPLENDA® SPLENDA No Calorie Sweetener

Preparation

Step 1

To prepare salsa, combine peaches, jalapeno and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Add sugar and mix well. Stir in salt and cilantro and toss gently to mix; set aside.


Preheat grill.


To prepare burgers, mash salmon bones with the back of a fork. Combine salmon, scallion, lemon zest, egg, black pepper and bread crumbs in a medium bowl; mix well. Shape salmon mixture into four 1-inch-thick patties.


Gently place burgers in a grill basket or on a grill rack and grill at medium-high heat for 3 to 5 minutes. Flip burgers and grill about 3 minutes more, until golden brown on both sides. Serve salmon burgers with peach salsa on the side. Yields 1 burger and about 1/2 cup of salsa per serving. (Note: The burgers can be broiled instead of grilled, if desired. Coat a broiler rack with cooking spray, preheat broiler and broil 4 inches from the heat for 2 to 3 minutes per side.)
