Instructions
For the Burgers
- Pre heat oven to 375 degrees. Chop the salmon into small pieces or pulse in food processor. You want the salmon to still remain a little chunky but not processed smooth. In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, lime juice and cilantro. Mix well.Add remaining ingredients to the bowl. We are adding some binders like egg and pork rinds to help the burgers to stay together. Gently stir together until just combined. Form medium sized patties and place on lightly oiled sheet pan. Bake for 18 minutes.Remove from oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes and serve.
