Salmon Burgers and Black-Eyed Pea Salad

I just have to say, I’m am so excited to share this recipe!

I made a bunch of salmon last week but got tired of the taste and couldn’t finish it. Rather than wasting it, I decided to try and make a salmon burger. I made seven patties, seared them, baked them, and froze them for future use since we only will eat two at a time.

Salmon Burgers:
Flake about 16oz or 2 cups of salmon
Combine salmon with 1 cup quinoa
Grate half a cauliflower and sauté it with some butter until soft
Let cauliflower cool and combine with salmon quinoa mixture
Combine mixture with 3 lightly beaten eggs
Take an ice-cream-scoop-sized ball of salmon mixture and form patties
Seat patties in a heavy skillet until brown on both sides (2 minutes)
Bake for about 10-15 minutes at 350
Serve right away or freeze for easy dinners.
Put on a bun with spring salad mix, sliced tomato, ranch dressing, and pesto.

Black-Eyed Pea Salad:
My black-eyed peas were left over from the creole rice I made last week. Refer to that recipe for instructions.
Mix cold beans with chopped raw cucumber, red onion, and cooked beets.
Mix with olive oil, salt, pepper, and serve!
