Recipe: Snappy Salmon Burgers
Looking to eat heart-healthy? Try these salmon burgers. They’re easy to make and can be cooked on a skillet or grilled.
These salmon patties are not only tasty — they’re rich in heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, too! Make them ahead of time and refrigerate until you’re ready to cook. (Planning to grill? Place salmon burgers in the freezer first for 20 to 30 minutes. That way they’ll hold together better.)
