salmon burgers – Livingleen

Hey Friends!

With all the excitement of the Yoga Journal Conference these last couple of days I completely forgot to post this yesterday…whoops!! This week’s post is one of the recipes I’ve been using for Phil and I these last few weeks to help us feel like we’re getting something indulgent – Salmon Burgers!I was really intimidated to try and make salmon burgers at first and I really don’t know why…they’re so simple and so incredibly delicious!

Salmon Burgers

1 large Sockeye Salmon Filet (skinned)
1/2-3/4 cup whole wheat panko bread crumbs
1 egg
1 cup shredded cabbage
2 cups fresh spinach (wilted and strained to
remove moisture)
seasonings of choice

Skin salmon filet and pulse with egg, veggies, panko and seasonings until well combined. Form the patties with your hand and heat up a skillet under med/med-high heat and spray with olive oil spray. Cook patties for 3-4 minutes on each side until cooked through, then splat between two pieces of sprouted wheat bread with a creamy/healthy slaw, and you’ve got yourself a DELICIOUS dinner or lunch!

Until next time, keep smiling! 🙂

Looking for a little Wednesday night dinner inspiration?!?! With minimal effort and some awesome ingredients, you can make a healthy, delicious dinner packed with protein, omega-3s and a whole host of incredible vitamins!

Since I coach a few evenings a week I don’t get home until just before 9pm, which doesn’t leave much time to cook a meal, let my food digest and sleep. While I am a HUGE advocate for fresh/homemade I do use prepared, frozen salmon burgers which I season myself with soy sauce, chili powder, cayenne, ginger, garlic and fresh herbs. These burgers just need a few minutes a side and they’re SOO yummy!

To pump up the protein I use quinoa, which also takes very little time to make! Throwing some onion, garlic, bell pepper, carrot ribbons and spinach in a skillet with a little EVOO on medium heat makes a quick veggie stir fry to toss with the quinoa. I finish the mix with some soy sauce, fresh ginger, herbs, salt and pepper for a flavorful, vitamin packed, palate pleasing plate!

This takes about 20 minutes to prepare and is as delicious as dishes that take me hours! If you’re looking for something that takes no time to prepare but is still healthy, give this fish and fry a try!

Enjoy!
