Holly Clegg Recipes - New Hope For Cancer Patients

This month Holly Clegg, best-selling healthy cookbook author wants to focus on the wonderful abundance of fresh seafood, making it the perfect addition to healthy recipes and diet not to be missed. Salmon is packed with lean protein, along with essential vitamins and minerals that make Snappy Salmon Burgers not only nutritious, but out-of-this-world good! If you love salmon, then these burgers are a satisfying meal.

Classic is good, but variety is better and as always, these trim and terrific burgers are healthy, easy and so good! If grilling these burgers, place salmon patties in freezer about 20-30 minutes and they will hold together better. Make them ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to cook. Don’t be afraid to mix things up, as burgers can come in many different shapes and sizes, you can easily turn these into sliders with miniature buns (my favorite is King Hawaiian).

Your heart will thank you when adding salmon to your healthy recipes and diet as fresh salmon is packed with heart healthy omega-3’s - American Heart Association recommends eating 2 servings of fatty fish per week. This recipe is from Holly Clegg’s Healthy Eating chapter of her Eating Well Through Cancer cookbook, and once you are finished with your cancer treatment recipes such as this will fill your diet with nutrition for long term health. Folks always say this is the best salmon they have ever had. You will definitely be a salmon fan after this dish!
