Make a big batch of Roasted Salmon and Vegetables and use the leftovers for this speedy supper later in the week.

Ingredients

  • 4 reserved roasted salmon fillets from Roasted Salmon and Vegetables recipe

  • 1 cup reserved roasted vegetables from Roasted Salmon and Vegetables recipe, finely chopped

  • 1 can (8 ounces) water chestnuts, drained and finely chopped

  • 1 large egg white

  • 1 tablespoon finely grated peeled fresh ginger

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)

  • Nonstick cooking spray

  • 4 hamburger buns, lightly toasted

  • Bibb lettuce

  • Chinese mustard (optional)

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, flake and mash salmon fillets. Stir in roasted vegetables, water chestnuts, egg white, ginger, and soy sauce until combined. Add flour and stir to combine. Divide into 4 patties. Lightly coat a large nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray and heat over medium; add patties and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 8 minutes, flipping halfway through. Serve burgers on buns with lettuce and Chinese mustard, if desired.

Cook's Notes

A smear of hot Chinese mustard adds a nice kick to this sandwich. Look for it in your international aisle.
