If it’s a burger, it has to be beef. Right?

Nope. Nada. No way. I’m here to set you straight. And free!

My most recent THV11 This Morning segment was A Burger Bar for your Burger Bash. With those summertime parties that we all love so much coming up, I thought we could all use a twist to the ole grilling routine.

These salmon burgers are just the trick to do that. Who woulda’ thought?

You may have had salmon burgers before, but my twist on these is to use some of that yummy smoked salmon that Hubby prepares in mine. The one we liked best combined fresh salmon and some of that leftover smoked salmon we had for dinner the night before. It was a perfect combination.

Now, if you don’t happen to have any of that leftover smoked salmon, don’t fret. Just use all fresh. It’ll still be quite delicious. I suppose you could add in a tablespoon of Liquid Smoke for a little of that smoky taste, but I haven’t tried that. Let me know if you do.

We like the burger topped off with some tzatziki or homemade tartar sauce and half a handful of arugula. If you have any summer, homegrown heirloom tomatoes put a big slice on there as well.

These can be prepared on the grill on the stovetop in a skillet. I think I really prefer it best in the skillet actually since it really crisps up the panko breading.

Or, you can lose the bun and try it served on top of a green salad. Just be careful you don’t get all puffed up eatin’ healthy that way!.

Happy summer burgers, y’all. #letsbreakbread
