There is only one word for these burgers – EPIC !!!
I am fast becoming the Umami Queen I think and this recipe really showcases that.
With layers of natural umami deliciousness coming from real, Irish, simple ingredients this dish is a total winner for young and old.
It is a salmon burger with some sweet potato and dry cured smoked bacon in the mix. They are baked in the oven and served on a wholewheat bun. The other fab thing about these burgers is they can be “dressed up or dressed down” depending on you audience if you know what I mean.
For the grown ups or the more adventurous eater we will serve the burgers with a ranch dressing, some creamy avocado and top it with some sprouting seeds.
For our younger, perhaps slightly picky eater these are miracle as they are a complete nutritious meal in themselves so simply serve them with a little dip of choice on the side.
With fun and deliciousness,
