Salmon Burger with Wasabi Mayo

Method:
• For mayo: Combine 1 Tbsp (15 mL) prepared wasabi with
⅓ cup (75 mL) low-fat mayonnaise.
• For burgers: Coarsely chop 400 g fresh raw salmon in a food processor. Mix in 1 tsp (5 mL) each of low-sodium soy sauce and sesame oil, a small handful of fresh bread crumbs and the zest from a lemon. Form into four ¾-in.-thick patties.
• Cook patties on a lightly oiled grill (or a grilling tray) for three to four minutes per side, turning only once. (Careful, they can be fragile.)
• Place each patty on a toasted whole-wheat kaiser bun and top with
1 tsp of the wasabi mayo, plus julienned cucumber and broccoli sprouts.


Serves four. Per serving: 417 calories, 27 g protein, 19 g fat (4 g satur­ated fat), 34 g carbohydrates, 2 g fibre, 57 mg cholesterol, 440 mg sodium


What makes it so good for you?
• Salmon is an excellent source of protein and heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. It also contains lots of vitamin B12, which helps maintain both healthy nerve cells and red blood cells.
