Salmon Dill Burgers

Once you taste this easy-to-make salmon burger, you will wonder whether it really is a healthy dish (gluten-free and dairy-free), because it is so super-delicious and flavorful. I served it with a healthy green salad with endives, grapes, tomatoes, dried cranberries, and walnuts, lightly tossed in my favorite parsley-apple dressing (find the recipe for the dressing under "Endive Salad with Parsley & Apple Dressing"). The dressing was also excellent on the salmon patties. (Recipe from Elana Amsterdam's "The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook;" see my related post about her book.)

Ingredients:

1 pound skinless salmon fillet

1/2 cup blanched almond flour

2 large eggs

1 tablespoon lemon zest (from 1 small lemon)

1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh dill (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

2 tablespoons grapeseed oil

Directions:

Rinse the salmon, pat dry with paper towels, and cut into 1/4-inch cubes.

In a large bowl, combine the salmon, almond flour, eggs, lemon zest, dill, and salt. Form the mixture into 2-inch patties.

Heat the grapeseed oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties 4 to 6 minutes per side, until golden brown. Transfer patties to a paper towel-lined plate and serve. Serves 4.
