Salmon Burgers

Ya know how you have that list of things that you’re never going to do when you grow up? “GOSH MOM! When I’m a grown up, I’m never going to make my kids eat fish!……I’m never gonna make my kids clean their room!……I’m never going to tell my kids they can’t climb the poles in the basement!” Well, let me just tell y’all, I’ve been eating lots of crow. It’s dry and it makes me cough. Now when Annie says that type of thing, I’ll just get the giggles. I’m sure my mom was giggling behind my back too. When I was growing up, I hated when my mom would fix salmon. It stunk. It made the house stink. It made me wanna yak. And what am I doing now? Fixing it for myself. I’m a paradox. Let’s make these delicious Salmon Burgers and feed them to our kids!

We need canned salmon, eggs, breadcrumbs, onion, mayo, spicy brown mustard, salsa, salt, pepper, and burger fixings. When salmon goes on sale I always make sure to buy a few cans so I have them on hand for Fishy Friday. Have I ever told y’all that I like alliteration?

Chop your onion pretty finely. I left this a little too big, but it was still tasty. Next time I will just use my Slap Chop. I <3 my Slap Chop. If your kids hate onions, you need to chop them very finely so they can’t be detected…if your spouse doesn’t like onions, tell him to get over it.

Okay, here’s the creepy part. We have to get those big bones out. Why the heck are they in there anyway? And for that matter, what’s that big hunk of white stuff they always put in my Pork and Beans? It sure doesn’t look like PORK to me! This part isn’t my favorite – but eating the burger IS my favorite, so I get over myself and do it. You only get to get the big ones out…..just crush the tiny ones up with your hand. It adds more good stuff to the salmon. Trust me. You’ll never know they’re in there…..don’t think about it – just like it’s not a good idea to think about who slept in that hotel bed before you did.

Grab a mixing bowl and put everything in there….with the exception of the burger fixings – that could get weird. Mix it up! Use your hands – unless you’re a pansy and then you can use a spoon. I used a spoon. You do the math.

You can fry these with butter, but I like using my olive oil sprayer for stuff like this. I picked this up at Bed, Bath, and Beyond (love that store!) and I use it a lot. It gives a nice coating without drenching my food.

Pat your meat into four patties and put them in an oiled hot skillet. Mine weren’t all the same size…..I’m not a good judge of size where that’s concerned. BUT, I will know if your serving is bigger than mine – and I WILL bring it your attention.

After about six minutes, flip them over and cook on the other side. I didn’t add more oil, but you could if you’re trying to get your good fats in for the day. Good fat. Good fat. Sounds weird doesn’t it?

When they’re done you can just assemble them like you would any other burger. I used cheese, ketchup, lettuce, and mustard. They were delicious! Even Annie gobbled hers down…..minus the bun. She’s weird about bread sometimes. Occasionally I wonder if she’s adopted.

    One of my students (I taught first grade) called Salmon – “Princess Chicken”… I thought this was TOTALLY cute – not all but most little girls would probably beg to eat something called Princess Chicken. It worked for her family, because they have 3 girls. I have 2 & 2 and my boys would NEVER eat something called Princess Chicken.

    Stacy,

    I can’t do it. I just can’t pick the bones out. I want to, but I can’t! I also got a big laugh out of the hotel bed comments. I’m an OCD freak when it comes to hotel rooms.

If you hate it, just scroll on by. 🤍 But it was helpful to us. 🥰⠀
⠀
Often, I have a hard time getting my kids to remember things I’ve taught them, like how to properly clean a toilet or clean mirrors. “I forgot.”⠀
⠀
You know what they don’t forget? Stuff they watch on You Tube. 🤪🤪⠀
⠀
So I went to You Tube and sourced kid videos about cleaning the bathroom. The kids all watched them. ⠀
⠀
Now they’re all cleaning their own bathrooms. Boom. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Worked for us. ⠀
⠀
** Just search on YT for “kid cleaning videos” and see what you find. Different parents have different parameters for what they allow. Barry and I screened videos first but each person can find their own. ❤️🤍

Hard times can make us or break us.

Our family experienced some big changes and shocks and pruning (removing) in 2021. Some days I didn’t want to get out of my house or my bed.⠀
⠀
But already we are coming out of darkness into His wonderful light and I can see - I can see the benefits of hard times. ⠀
⠀
New beautiful growth and hope. ❤️⠀
⠀
What is one benefit YOU have experienced from hard times?
This culture has nothing to offer our family.⠀
⠀
I lived for too long believing that hustle was to the benefit of this family. ⠀
⠀
God’s call upon our life isn’t to hustle and grind our days away while we prove our worth and see our success. ⠀
⠀
No, friends. It’s God’s desire that when people look at you and me, they don’t see US or what WE accomplished but instead say:⠀
⠀
Wow, only God did that. ⠀
⠀
The Myers aren’t building an empire. We are building our family, day by day. Tiny moment by tiny moment. 🤍
