Delicious Fishwich

by in Recipe Reviews

This salmon burger is as classic as a sandwich gets–meat and veggies on bread. With salmon and avocado, however, you get an excellent amount of healthy fats. Serve it on good whole-wheat rolls or bread for nutty, hearty, whole-grain goodness.

    Love this sandwich, I made it last week using leftover salmon and
    avocado and tomatoes.  I would recommend skipping the mayo and
    spreading the softened avocado as though it were the spread!
     Enjoy!
