Salmon Burgers 4 Ways

At least twice a week we have "low cook" dinners which consist of burgers, sandwiches, salads, etc. and/or leftovers. Burger night used to be veggie or chicken burgers but lately I've become addicted to the wild salmon burgers from our local grocery store. On a whole wheat bun with a side of steamed veggies, it makes a relatively healthy and very quick meal. If you don't like the idea of frozen seafood, you can just get some wild salmon fillets from your fishmonger. Personally, I can't afford that - fresh wild salmon is exhorbitantly expensive.

Here are several ideas for how to top your salmon burgers/fillets. Each makes enough for one serving, so simply multiply by number of servings that you need. Simply slather sauce on both sides of bun or if you want to go bunless, just dollop on top of fish or brush it on before broiling/pan frying your burgers or fillets.
