salmon burgers with lemon cilantro mayo
when i was growing up, my mom always made salmon croquettes. she made them ALL THE TIME. i remember standing there and watching her make them. they were the bomb, too. so, when i started thinking of a recipe for salmon burgers, i remembered the way my mom used to make her croquettes. i used it as a base and added some lemon zest, replaced some of her flour with panko and instead of onion, used scallion. since my kids are huge mayo fans, i thought i would make some kind of mayo combination for the salmon burgers. since cilantro is my favorite herb and lemon is so great with fish, it was a no brainer. we loved it.
