Eat Skinny Be Skinny: Grilled Salmon Burgers
06.06.10
PIN IT!There’s nothing more quintessential summer than grilling out on a warm evening. Grilling is not only a quick way to prepare meals, it’s also one of the healthiest. Grilling adds flavor to food with flames, not fat. You also lose all of the oils, butters and shortenings you normally use to pan fry, bake or fry your favorite protein. As someone who doesn’t eat much read meat, I wanted to find a healthy, yet delicious alternative to the classic burger. I’ve done turkey so I decided to archive this mouth-watering recipe for grilled salmon burgers! I can’t wait to try this out in the upcoming summer months.
