Ingredients

• 2 can canned salmon (6-ounce, drained and flaked)
• 0.25 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 egg (large, lightly beaten)
• 2 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice (fresh)

• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

• 4 whole wheat burger buns
• 1 package mixed greens

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, combine drained and flaked canned salmon, breadcrumbs, egg, chopped fresh parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined. Form into 4 patties.
2. Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add salmon patties and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through.
