Salmon Burgers



These Salmon Burgers are a warm-weather win—hearty enough to satisfy, yet light and refreshing, and best of all, they won’t heat up your kitchen much. Made with canned or pouched salmon for convenience, the burgers are held together beautifully with oat flour, egg, and flaxseed, then cooked to perfection. It’s a simple, nutritious meal you can feel great about serving any night of the week.
