salmon

💰Cheaper: canned salmon

Canned salmon is a more budget-friendly option.

Trim the skin off the salmon if it's on.

Cut the salmon into strips, then into cubes.

Chop the salmon cubes down further for easier mixing.

In a bowl, combine the chopped salmon with 2 thinly sliced green onions (using both white and green parts), 1 tablespoon of chopped cilantro, 1/4 cup of very small diced red pepper, 1 egg, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1/2 cup of bread crumbs, and 2 teaspoons of salmon spice.

Mix all ingredients together using gloves for easier handling.

Form the mixture into 4 patties.

Heat about 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet until hot, ensuring the pan is fully covered with oil.

Fry the salmon patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side until cooked through.

Dress the burgers with cilantro aioli and mango pico, and add sliced avocado.
