Salmon Burgers with Avocado Salsa

This easy and healthy salmon burger is a family favorite!
Ingredients for Salmon Burgers:

• 1 lb salmon fillet (skin removed)
• 1 cup fresh breadcrumbs (see note)
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro or parsley
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp mustard
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. pepper
• olive oil for greasing the pan or grill

Ingredients for Avocado Salsa:

• 1 large avocado, chopped
• 1/3 cup chopped red onion
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 lime, juiced
• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• salt and pepper

Directions:

1. Chop the salmon fillet into small pieces (about 1/4 inch) and transfer it into a medium mixing bowl.
2. Gently stir in the rest of the ingredients. Let the mixture rest for 5-10 minutes.
3. Heat a little oil in a large non-stick grill pan over medium heat. Divide the salmon mixture into 6 and form neat patties (I used a 1/2 cup as a measure). Fry/grill the patties until browned on both sides and just cooked through; about 4 minutes on each side.
4. Combine all the salsa ingredients together and mix well.
