Here is another recipe that came as a result of my thinking “what should I do with this salmon today”? The combination of the salmon, red onions and basil mayo made this burger recipe a keeper . It was absolutely fantastic. I can’t wait to have another for lunch soon.
Buen provecho!

1 pound salmon, diced
1/4 cup onion, chopped
1/4 cup scallions,chopped

3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
