How to Make Budget-Friendly Salmon Burgers
These burgers are a good way to spice up your menu! They are packed with heart-healthy salmon, plus some veggies. To keep the carbohydrate count low, these are served over bibb lettuce instead of on a bun. Serve these burgers with a green salad drizzled with a sesame ginger vinaigrette for a light, refreshing meal.
