5. I made salmon burgers the other night for the first time.

They were delicious and I was very surprised (pleasantly).

7. Here's an interesting variation on salmon burgers...

It uses canned salmon. There are other recipes on the Net that call for fresh salmon. But, I could never bring myself to use fresh salmon this way--except in the highly unlikely event I were to have a glut of it. I like this recipe a lot. I make it more frequently than I do regular salmon burgers. It's more of a breakfast sausage, given the spices, but good any time of day.

Low Fat Salmon Sausage Patties

Yield: 8 Patties

2 cans salmon (7 1/2 oz) or 1-15 oz can
1/2 c bread crumbs
2 egg whites
2 clvs garlic, minced
2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped or 2 tsp dried parsley
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp sage
1/2 tsp marjoram
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp fresh ground pepper
3/4 tsp crushed hot red pepper
Nonstick cooking spray

Combine all ingredients and form into 8 patties. "Fry" in a Teflon pan
coated with nonstick cooking spray until brown and crisp on both
sides, about 20 min. Add a little water during cooking if patties
begin to stick.

8. I used fresh salmon and mixed with a homemade dill aioli and bread crumbs.

I also fried in butter...

and served with more aioli.

No wonder I liked them so much!

6. Leftovers

I made a sandwich with one of the pork chops I grilled on Saturday, and ate it along with the last of the grilled zucchini, which I ate cold. Yum!

9. sweet potato home fries and a cheddar/anaheim chile omelet

also applesauce from the freezer (gotta use up the stash from last summer's crop).

It was all tasty and very filling! The icy cold applesauce hit the spot.

10. BBQ port loin and corn from the freezer

Very busy with voter outreach, and thankful for planned leftovers from when I have time to cook.
