Plate Expectations: Sesame salmon burgers
Our in-house chef Denise Phillips serves up her latest delicious recipe
Burgers of all description never fail to satisfy a hungry family. Using fresh salmon, this recipe might encourage the fussiest of eaters to eat fish! Make for midweek supper, picnic or enjoy al fresco as they are delicious hot, cold or warm. I like to make a double batch and freeze one for another occasion when time is of the essence.
