Salmon Burger with Lemon Basil Sauce

If your New Year's resolution involves eating healthier, try these delicious salmon burgers.

This is a canned salmon recipe.There are two kinds of canned salmon available: pink and red. Pink is more delicately flavored than the robust red. However, either works just fine in this recipe.

The canned fish is pressure-cooked, so there is no need to remove the bones or skin. In fact, the delicate, easily digestible bones are the reason why canned salmon is one of the best non-dairy source of calcium, having almost as much as an equivalent serving of milk.

Serve these salmon burgers with a tropical fruit salad made up of plenty of pineapple and mandarin oranges. The tartness of the fruits balances the richness of the salmon patties and sauce.
