Salmon Burgers With Lemon-Sour Cream Sauce

This is a fast, delicious, and healthy alternative to a traditional burger. This is a great way to get kids to eat fish (although they might prefer it with ketchup & a bun instead). This recipe is from Linda Stradley, cookbook author of "What's Cooking America".
