BBQ Salmon Burgers

1 pound fresh, raw salmon (skinless or skin removed)

1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs

2 tablespoons bbq sauce

1 tablespoon dijon mustard

2 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese

2 garlic cloves, minced

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

4 whole wheat buns

Add salmon to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until it’s somewhat ground.

Remove and add salmon to a bowl with remaining ingredients (except for buns!) and mix with a spoon until just combined. Form into 4 equally-sized burgers. Heat a skillet (or grill) over medium-high heat and cook burgers on each side until golden – about 3-4 minutes per side.

Serve with additional BBQ sauce, lettuce and red onion for topping.
