Grilled salmon patties

Grilled salmon patties offer a delicious and nutritious meal that's simple to prepare. Combining fresh salmon, savory seasonings, and creamy avocado, this dish is perfect for a quick dinner or a weekend barbecue. Rich in protein and healthy fats, these patties are not only tasty but also a great choice for a balanced diet.

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Salmon: If using raw salmon, cook it by grilling, baking, or pan-frying until fully cooked. Let it cool slightly, then flake the salmon with a fork into small pieces.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flaked salmon, bread crumbs, lightly beaten egg, finely chopped onions, black pepper, lemon juice, and salt. Mix well until the ingredients are fully integrated.
3. Forming Patties: With your hands or a large spoon, form the mixture into round patties. Aim for even-sized patties to ensure they cook uniformly. You should get about 4-6 patties, depending on the size you choose.
4. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you don't have a grill, you can use a grill pan or regular frying pan instead. Lightly oil the grill grates or pan to prevent sticking.
5. Grill the Patties: Place the salmon patties on the preheated grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and heated through. Be gentle when flipping to prevent them from breaking apart.
6. Prepare the Avocado: While the patties are grilling, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh into a bowl. Mash it with a fork until it's smooth but still has some texture.
7. Serve: Once the patties are done, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a minute. Serve the grilled salmon patties topped with a dollop of mashed avocado.

Tips:

- For a smoother texture, finely chop the onions.

- If you prefer a bit of a kick, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the mixture.

- Ensure your grill is preheated to medium-high heat before placing the patties on it.

- Oil the grill grates lightly to prevent the patties from sticking.

- If the patties seem too soft to handle, refrigerate them for 10-15 minutes before grilling to help them firm up.

- Serve the patties on a bed of greens or in a whole-grain bun for a complete meal.

- Adding herbs like dill or parsley can introduce additional layers of flavor.

Grilled salmon patties are a delightful and healthy option for any meal. With the right combination of ingredients and a few helpful tips, you can create a dish that's bursting with flavor and nutrients. Enjoy your culinary creation with family and friends, knowing that you've prepared something both delicious and wholesome.
