Chloe Likes To Eat: Hot Smoked Salmon Burgers

Recently I've been experimenting with different kinds of burger, because they can be a great protein component to a weekday lunch, especially if they're sitting in the freezer ready cooked. Don't get me wrong, I love a loaded beef burger with cheese, jalapenos and barbecue sauce and onion rings on a weekend, but it's not a great everyday choice.

These ones came about after my Dad left some hot smoked salmon in the fridge before disappearing off on holiday, and it was nearing its use by date.
