Healthy Salmon and Quinoa Burgers

Wild salmon, quinoa, and kale – these burgers are not only super healthy, loaded with good-for-you omegas and tons of protein (21 grams of protein) they also taste delicious and are easy to make.

Total Time: 30 minutes

INGREDIENTS:

16 oz wild salmon fillet, skin removed
1 tsp olive oil
1/3 cup diced shallots
1 cup kale, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
3/4 cup cooked quinoa
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp Old Bay
1 large egg, beaten

DIRECTIONS:

In a small bowl, whisk the olive oil, vinegar, shallots, dijon, salt and pepper.
Cut about a 4 oz piece off or the salmon and place in a food processor or chopper to finely chop. This will help hold the burgers together.
With a knife finely chop the remaining salmon, transfer to a large work bowl.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, add the oil and sauté shallots and kale. Season with salt and pepper and cook over medium heat until wilted and tender, about 4 to 5 minutes.
Transfer to the bowl with salmon along with quinoa, Dijon, Old Bay and egg. Mix to combine, then form into 5 patties, about 1/2 cup each.
Lightly heat a nonstick grill pan or skillet over medium heat, when hot spray with oil and add the salmon patties. Cook the 4 to 5 minutes, then gently turn and cook an additional 4 to 5 minutes, or until cooked through.
