CILANTRO-LIME SALMON BURGERS WITH AVOCADO MAYO

I’m guessing we all know the benefits of eating more salmon, for example, it’s full of healthy fats, protein-packed and, in general, a good choice for our bodies and minds. I’m not a nutritionist, but you don’t need a health degree to know that choosing a salmon burger over a beef burger might just be a good thing to do for ourselves. Maybe not all the time (because beef has a place, too), but sometimes, when a burger craving hits, it’s nice to switch things up, if not for our health than for our taste buds. It’s good to keep things fresh and surprising.
