About this recipe

This recipe is one of three meals that are made with some of the same ingredients. Cook one or try cooking them as a “stack” of three to best utilize your time and ingredients. Start with Ginger Salmon with Red Cabbage Slaw and Jalapeño Cantaloupe Salsa. After cooking that, you will be part-way toward two other meals in the stack, Ginger Salmon and Butter Lettuce Salad with Honey Cilantro Vinaigrette and this one for Shallot and Salmon Burgers with Sesame Aioli.

Instructions

In a large skillet over medium heat, add coconut oil.

Lightly beat 2 eggs in a medium bowl. Add flaked salmon, shallots, almond meal/breadcrumbs, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper and mix well. Form 2 to 3 hamburger-size patties out of this mixture (adding more almond meal/breadcrumbs if needed for burgers to hold together).

Place salmon burgers in the hot skillet and sear for 2 to 4 minutes on each side.

Meanwhile, make Sesame Aioli by combining mayonnaise/avocado mayonnaise, soy sauce/coconut aminos, minced garlic and sesame oil in a small dish. Mix well.

Serve salmon burgers on rolls or buns with remaining Red Cabbage Slaw. Drizzle Sesame Aioli on top of burgers.
