Salmon Burgers

posted by pink

1 average-sized can of salmon
1 egg
½ C bread or cracker crumbs
½ C chopped onion
½ C chopped green pepper
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp grated lemon peel
½ tsp rosemary
1/8 tsp pepper

Mix everything together. Form into balls. Place balls on heated, greased griddle or pan on medium heat, press into flat burgers. Cook 5 minutes each side. Add toppings as desired. Suggested toppings: tomato, onion, romaine lettuce, swiss cheese, mayonnaise.

Notes: This recipe assumes that one eats fish and possible also dairy. The rosemary completes the flavour. Bell peppers tend to attain an acrid flavour as they cook. If I use them, I don't like to let them come to the outside of the burger to make contact with the frypan.
