Wild Alaskan Salmon Burgers

In my quest to be healthy, I try to include fish in my diet as often

I can.  This is always a bit of a challenge for me as my dear

hubby does not like fish.  What to do?  I  eat fish for lunch or on

 the nights he now has golf league.  

Here I am having a wild Alaska salmon burger on a bed of 

mixed spring greens.  This version is high protein and low carb.

I am very fortunate that my local co-op just blocks from my home

sells these burgers in their butcher shop.   While I don't have their recipe,

I can tell you that from what I can taste and see, the burger is just

fresh salmon chunks with some scallions held together with an egg

I presume.  Fresh, simple and yummy because the full flavor of

the salmon comes through without a lot of bread crumbs.

When I figure out how to make these burgers taste just like

the co-op's I will let you know.

I added my own home made tartar sauce.  And here it is:

1/4 cup of mayo

good squeeze of fresh lemon juice

some pickle relish (your call on how much)

some capers (without their juice)

sprinkle of Kosher salt

freshly ground pepper

Now you can also add some grated lemon rind to

give the sauce a bit more lemon zing if you like.

I did not use all of the sauce on my burger as I try

to keep fats to a minimun, but we do have to enjoy life

too so I just use moderation.

Susan and Bentley's Stress Relief Program

Have you been feeling frazzled lately?

Are you so busy that you often wish there were two of you

to get everything done on the "To Do List"?

Are your days so hectic that you don't know whether things are up ...

or down?

Come join Bentley and me as we take you on our one month

Stress Relief Program.

I made the decision yesterday that my life is just spinning

out of control.  I try to do too much and I fret over not

accomplishing it all.  I am edgy and irritable.  In my defense I 

will say that the last several years have been filled with lots of

worry and anguish.  But that's not an excuse, because we all go

through stressful times.

So ... I'm making changes that will calm me down and help me

be the person I need to be for my loved ones.

Today starts week one:  Exercise

Adding exercise into my daily routine.  It's the best way to get

rid of stress.  Yoga, going for a walk, strength training a couple of 

times per week.  Tennis lessons at the park?  Anything to get me

moving to work off the stress.  I used to be so faithful about exercise,

but in the past year, I have not taken the time to do it.  So I am

making the commitment to work some form of exercise into each and

every day.

Will you join me?

Bentley votes for lots of walkies!

Hugs,

Susan and Bentley
