Hawaiian BBQ Salmon Burgers Directions:

 

  1. In a small bowl combine the BBQ sauce, pineapple juice, lime juice, cilantro, salt and pepper and mix well to combine. Set aside for later.
  2. Add salmon to a food processor and pulse until its ground OR, you can also chop the salmon very finely with a knife.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, add chopped salmon along with the panko, parmesan and 2 tablespoons of the “Hawaiian BBQ sauce” from step 1, mix and combine with a spoon.
  4. Form into 4 equally sized patties.
  5. Heat a skillet (or grill) over medium-high heat with a tablespoon of coconut oil. Cook burgers on each side until golden, about 3-4 minutes per side. During the last minute of cooking.
