Ingredients

  • 14 ounce cans of wild salmon
  • 3/4 cup cooked quinoa cooled
  • 1/4 cup bell pepper chopped
  • 1 roasted red pepper homemade or jarred, chopped
  • 1/4 c chia seeds
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • For The Yogurt Sauce
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 10 mint leaves minced
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375*
  • Prepare quinoa or use leftovers
  • Open and drain salmon if necessary and place in large mixing bowl
  • Add peppers and spices and mix well.
  • Crack an egg into the mixture and mix well
  • Add chia seeds and mix. Allow for the mixture to sit for a few minutes. Add more chia if mixture seems too wet. 
  • Grease a baking sheet. Using an ice cream scoop, create about a dozen patties and use clean, wet hands to press them down and shape into burgers.
  • Place in oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, until you can flip them without them crumbling. Flip and then allow to bake for 15 more minutes.
  • Combine mint, yogurt, lemon, salt and pepper for a simple yogurt sauce and top patties with a dollop to serve.
