Title: Burgers and Fries part Deux
Post by: Larry Wolfe on August 16, 2012, 06:36:54 AM
I've been eating and making my Mom's salmon cakes all of my life.  A friend of mine asked if I could grill them.  I didn't want to use the standard bread crumb, onion, etc., recipe....sorry Mom.  I wanted these to be more 'burger' like than cakey since they were being grilled.  Wanted to do these differently, so I started offith 2lbs of fresh salmon, added 2 eggs, salt, pepper and parsley and pulsed it in a food processor.  It needed a little more binder, otherwise it would have fallen through the grates.  I added 1/2 cup of flour which worked fine.  Grilled for 5 minutes per side and enjoyed wth a homemade creamy avocado dill sauce.

They were great, I will use a touch less flour on the next go round.  I really thought they would fall apart, but they held together too good.

Do you have a recipe for the creamy avocado dill sauce?  That sounds really good and would love to try it.

Ted, it was good!  My girlfriend made it and here's what she told me she put in it.

1 Avocado
1 Cup Mayo
Handful of Fresh Dill (however much you like dill)
Juice of 1 lemon
salt and pepper to taste

Mash/Blend together and enjoy!  A healthier version could be to use Greek Yogurt instead of mayo, but we were out, my daughter ate it all!  LOL
