Salmon Burger w/ Sesame Mayo
Salmon is one of my favorite fishes, it's so versatile and delicious. Fry it, poach it, smoke it or even eat it raw...it's always delicious in my book! It doesn't have an overly potent fish flavor and it's also very delicate and flakey. I always keep a pack of frozen salmon filets in the freezer, cause not only is it delicious but they make a really quick meal. What I did here was just chop up a salmon filet and mixed it with some egg, panko, red pepper, garlic and made some salmon burgers. The red pepper added great texture and flavor to the burger and the sesame mayo has become one of my favorites, enjoy!
