The days when we enjoyed salmon exclusively as a fillet are over, and we’re kissing them goodbye. Lucky for you (and your taste buds), as one door closes, another opens. Meet our grilled salmon sliders.
That’s right – we’ve stuffed salmon in a sandwich to form hand-held, protein-packed nibbles certain to satisfy. Bursting with minerals and omega-3s, these sliders serve as a healthy hamburger alternative. They satisfy burger cravings without dragging along a guilt-ridden nutritional profile.
Salmon patties pack serious flavor when cushioned between two whole-wheat buns. Nutrient-rich ingredients like Dijon mustard, chopped parsley, and sweet onion lend bright and bold deliciousness to each juicy bite. Decorated with veggies and your choice of condiments, these scrumptious sliders are crave-worthy and a guaranteed to be hit!
