Now that the weather is finally cooperating, it’s time to pull the grill out of hibernation (if you haven’t already), invite some friends over, and enjoy some delicious outdoor cooking! No matter what your food preference is, you can find recipes for the grill that are great tasting and healthy. While looking for something different, I came across a recipe from delish.com for Fresh Salmon Burgers with Capers and Dill. Check it out:
Ingredients
· 1 large lemon
· 1/4 cup(s) light mayonnaise
· 1 tablespoon(s) capers, drained and coarsely chopped
· 1 pound(s) salmon fillet, skin removed
· 1/4 cup(s) (loosely packed) fresh dill, chopped
· 2 green onions, thinly sliced
· 1/2 cup(s) plain dried bread crumbs
· Salt
· Nonstick cooking spray
· 4 whole wheat hamburger buns, split and toasted
· Green-leaf lettuce leaves
Directions
1. Prepare outdoor grill for direct grilling over medium heat.
2. Meanwhile, from lemon, grate 1 teaspoon peel and squeeze 1 tablespoon juice.
3. In small bowl, stir lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon lemon peel with mayonnaise and capers until blended. Set lemon-caper sauce aside. Makes about 1/3 cup.
4. With large chef's knife, finely chop salmon; place in medium bowl. Add dill, green onions, 1/4 cup bread crumbs, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1⁄2 teaspoon lemon peel to salmon; gently mix with fork until combined. Shape salmon mixture into four 3-inch round burgers.
5. Sprinkle both sides of burgers with remaining bread crumbs. Spray both sides of burgers with nonstick spray.
6. Place burgers on hot grill rack. Cook burgers 6 to 8 minutes or until browned on the outside and still slightly pink in the center for medium or until desired doneness, turning burgers over once.
7. Serve burgers on buns with lettuce and lemon-caper mayonnaise.
I sure hope the weather stays nice for the weekend so I can try these - Yum! What are your favorite recipes to throw on the grill? Please share your recipes and help us all get cooking this summer!
