Spicy Salmon Burger

Burgers don't have to aways be beef, especially during summer when you're after something a little lighter. These salmon treats are the perfect answer, and are great paired with lemony mayonnaise and homemade fries. 

Ingredients (for 4 people):

• 15 oz. canned salmon
• 2 eggs
• 1 tbsp lemongrass cooking paste
• 1 tbsp red curry paste
• 1/2 tbsp brown sugar

Instructions:

1. Drain the canned salmon, and flake apart with a fork.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the remaining ingredients.
3. Form into four patties, and set aside.
4. Warm 1 tbsp of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Put the patties in the skillet, and fry for 5 min. Flip the patties and fry for another 5 min.
5. Serve in a bun if you prefer, and top with a dollop of lemony mayonnaise or yoghurt. A tangy slaw, homemade fries, or an avocado salad work well as sides.
