Salmon Burgers
lemon-herb potato salad
For these burgers, finely grind a small amount of salmon to serve as a binder and keep the rest of the salmon in larger pieces so that the patties stay moist.
Smarts: If you have time, make the potato salad a day or two ahead - the flavors will develop in the fridge.
