Did you know it’s still wild salmon season? If you ask us, there’s no better way to celebrate this beautiful time of year than with a healthy twist on one of America’s most beloved classics: the salmon burger.
Salmon burgers are a deeeeelicious way to load up on omega-3 fatty acids. These healthy fats are important for your metabolic health: They help strengthen your immune system, eyesight, and brain power — all while decreasing inflammation in the body.
Sounds like the perfect recipe for vibrant health!
Jo is pretty notorious for going to her favorite local health food store for their pre-made salmon burgers. The ingredient list is squeaky clean and they’re uber-convenient in a pinch, but she still prefers to make her own from scratch.
And now you can, too!
In this simple salmon burger recipe, we’re ditching the bun and serving the burger with a lettuce leaf and avocado for an extra boost of healthy fats and vitamins.
Here’s the important part: Be sure to always, always, always choose wild salmon over farmed salmon. Farmed Atlantic salmon is not good for the environment, nor is it good for your health. Look for wild salmon from the Pacific. Some readily available types of wild Pacific salmon are chinook, coho, pink, and sockeye.
