These delicious burgers are totally quick and easy to make and are a great addition to any bone-healthy diet too!
Salmon is a great source of protein and calcium. In fact, both sockeye and chinook salmon feature on our list of the top calcium-rich foods! Plus, if you use canned salmon that contains bones (don’t worry, they’re very soft and safe to eat) the calcium content of your burgers will be even higher.
What’s more, salmon provides a ton of omega 3 fatty acids. These “good fats” can help reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease, protect your brain against age-related decline and they even play a role in your bone health too. See, omega 3 fatty acids help to ease chronic inflammation in your body. And chronic inflammation can accelerate bone loss!

Instructions:
1. Flake the canned salmon and remove any bones if you’d prefer not to include them.
2. Mix the salmon with the rest of the ingredients (except the oil) in a medium-sized bowl.
3. Form your salmon mixture into 4-6 patties. You want your patties to be about one inch thick.
4. Heat the avocado oil in a skillet over medium heat.
5. When the oil is hot enough, fry your burgers until they’re crispy and golden brown. Then flip them over and repeat on the other side. It should take about 4-5 minutes on each side.
6. Place your burgers on a paper towel to rest for a few minutes and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
7. Serve with your choice of side!

Recipe Notes: We used sockeye salmon, but you can use Atlantic, chinook, or pink salmon too. Plus, you can substitute the breadcrumbs for cornmeal or almond meal if you prefer.
