Here is a useful website that I came across through Paleo Hacks (another fantastic site for valuable nutrition information). Fitness in an Evolutionary Direction is loaded with great recipes!
Salmon Burgers:
Ingredients:
1 large (~14oz) can salmon or use fresh!
1 tbsp roasted green chilis
1/4 white onion (diced)
3 cloves garlic (diced)
1 egg yolk
2-3 large basil leaves (finely chopped)
Fresh black pepper
EVOO (to grease pan)- they recommend Avocado Oil...
Coconut cream (optional for topping)
Sriracha Hot chili sauce (optional for topping)
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Cover a a baking sheet with aluminum foil and grease with a small amount of EVOO (coconut oil or butter would work as well).
In a large bowl, thoroughly mix all ingredients except sour cream/coconut cream and Sriracha. Form the mixture into 3-4 patties and place on the greased baking sheet.
Cook the burgers for 20-25 minutes.
Top the burgers with a dollop of coconut cream and a drizzle of Sriracha.
Note: If you want a simple, complete dinner, toss 1/2 head broccoli and 1/2 head cauliflower with 2-3 tbsp avocado oil/EVOO and put in a roasting pan. The veggies will take just about the same amount of time to cook as the burgers and make for a delicious side.
