"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"."

This is a nice tasting basic salmon patty that is easy and quick. Neither DH nor I much cared for the sauce, I personally think this would be better used as a burger in a bun.
