INGREDIENTS

    • 2 pounds salmon fillet, skin removed
    • 2 egg whites
    • 1/2 cup fresh breadcrumbs
    • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
    • 2 tablespoons fresh dill
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 4 whole-wheat hamburger buns

    INSTRUCTIONS

    1. Heat your grill to medium.

    2. Finely chop the salmon. Place half in a large resealable plastic bag and use a flat-surfaced meat pounder or a rolling pin to mash it.

    3. Place all the salmon in a large bowl. Combine with egg whites, mustard, bread crumbs, dill, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Form four 3/4-inch-thick patties.

    4. Place the patties on grill; cook 4-5 minutes per side. (On a stovetop, heat the oil in a grill pan over medium heat, and cook patties 5 minutes per side.)

    5. Serve the patties on the buns.
