Herbed Salmon Burgers

Ingredients

• 6 ounces Vital Choice Wild Red Pacific sockeye canned salmon (traditional or skinless-boneless)
• 1/4 cup chopped herbs (mix of tarragon, chives, parsley and dill)
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, preferably sourdough, or mashed sweet potatoes
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• Freshly ground black pepper
• Aroma-free coconut, olive or organic macadamia nut oil

Instructions

1. Make mashed sweet potatoes (skip if using breadcrumbs): Peel and slice the sweet potatoes; place in a small pot filled halfway up with water. Cover and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and mash.
2. Drain the salmon and mix in a bowl with egg, herbs, and breadcrumbs (or mashed sweet potatoes).
3. Form the burgers into six 3-inch burgers.
4. Warm a thin film of oil in a large cast-iron skillet. When a hand held one-inch above the skillet feels hot, add the burgers. Cook until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Serve hot.
