MAKES 5

INGREDIENTS

• 1-15oz can wild salmon, drained + skin and bones removed
• 1/2 cup almond meal (or old-fashioned oats or breadcrumbs)
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• Pepper, to taste
• 1/2 cup very finely chopped kale (stems removed)
• 1/2 cup very finely chopped broccoli florets
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1/2 cup finely chopped parsley (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Place drained salmon in a large bowl (I remove the skin and bones, but that’s optional).
2. Add eggs, almond meal, lemon juice, salt, garlic powder, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
3. Add in chopped veggies. Be sure they are chopped into tiny pieces because the burgers will fall apart if there are large chunks. Mix well (I used my hands).
4. Form into 5 tightly-packed patties. Place on a plate lined with foil or parchment paper and refrigerate for at least thirty minutes.
5. Once refrigerated, heat a large skillet sprayed with oil over medium heat. Once hot, add burgers. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until browned.

Form into 4 patties or you could make appetizer size if desired.

Heat about 4 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, add patties in brown for about 4-5 minutes per side until nice and golden brown.
