Salmon Burgers
Ingredients:
- 1/2 lb. fillet of salmon
- 1/4 cup very thinly sliced green beans
- 2 Tbsp. finely chopped chives
- 1 egg white, lightly beaten
- 2 Tbsp. instant mashed potatoes
- Pinch cayenne pepper
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
Directions:
- To separate the salmon from the skin, grasp a corner of the skin firmly with one hand. With the other hand, slip a knife horizontally between the flesh of the fish and the skin. (You may be able to ask your fish market to do this for you.) Discard skin. Coarsely chop salmon. Place in a bowl.
- Add beans, chives and egg white to salmon. With a fork, stir to blend. (The mixture wil be quite wet.) Mix in mashed potatoes, salt, cayenne pepper and a generous amount of freshly ground pepper. Form mixture into 4 burgers, wetting your hands first with cold water. If not cooking them immediately, place burgers on a plate, cover with foil and refrigerate up to 24 hours.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon burgers, reduce heat and cook 5 minutes. Turn and cook 5 minutes on other side, until fish is cooked and burgers are opaque all the way through.
