Salmon Patty Burger with Spinach and Cajun Mayo

Salmon. Spinach. Burger. Oh my...

Forgive me for being so absent lately. It's been a rough couple of weeks. Though, I realize spinach is very important. And doesn't deserve abandonment like that. #NoExcuses

This recipe is loosey goosey. The only real requirement is 1 can of salmon. So include or exclude as you wish...

You will need (roughly):

Can of salmon

tbs mayo (about)

tbs chopped onion

1/2 tsp minced garlic

2 tbs bread crumbs 

sprig of parsley - chopped

2 tsp parmesan/asiago cheese

1 egg

salt and pepper to taste

fresh baby spinach

burger brioche/bun

For the sauce:

mayo

squeeze of lemon

cajun spice to taste

pepper to taste

Lightly oil a pan and heat to medium. In a bowl, combine salmon, mayo, onion, garlic, bread crumbs, parsley, parmesan/asiago cheese, and salt and pepper to taste. Before adding the raw egg, you can taste it to see if it needs more of anything. Separate mix into two halves, pack into patties, and pan fry. For a firmer patty, use less mayo and/or beat the egg separate and pour in only half. 

Load up the bun with fresh baby spinach. This is the key ingredient here.

Whip up a small batch of the cajun mayo, spread on the bun, top off with the salmon patty...and say AHH. 

Enjoy,
