Hi Seafoodies!
We’re checking in to see how everyone is doing. If you’re starting to feel like you’re on a food show challenge where you have to make something tasty from only your pantry staples, we’ve got you covered! Today we are making No-Fuss Lemon-Pepper Salmon Burgers from canned or pouched salmon. And we promise you… these are anything but boring.
Flavored “shelf-stable” salmon—and tuna,too—are great to keep on hand because they make it easy to whip up a delicious and nutritious dish. Our new recipe started because we picked up some flavored salmon during our grocery run, and we wanted to share how easy this is for a weeknight dinner.
For this recipe, we used lemon pepper-flavored salmon. Then, we added a little mayo, Dijon mustard, dried dill weed and a little kick of cayenne pepper. Pat a little panko on the outside of these patties and you’ll have a crunch salmon burger even your littlest Seafoodies will love.
And, you’ll feel good serving this dish to your little Seafoodies because salmon is loaded with important nutrients, like brain-building and immune-boosting omega-3s. Plus, this meal will help you and your mini-Seafoodies eat one of the recommended 2-3 seafood meals each week.
No Fuss Lemon-Pepper Salmon Burgers… fast, flavorful and approved by challenging eaters!
