Salmon Burgers

Ahhh…finally another stressful week over with. After finding out that all moving companies are a crock (tried to upcharge us by double our quote), and experiencing issues with the bank and closing of the house, almost everything has been resolved.

The past week I have been persistently praying for three things. 1) a job for kyle 2)closing to go as planned and 3) the movers to have a heart :) .

Well, today two of those prayers were answered! The movers must have realized they were being insane and ridiculous, and decided to only charge exactly what they had quoted us! Thank God! and second…the biggie, Kyle’s current employer presented him with the proposal of opening a branch of their company in Washington!! Seriously? what a blessing! So much more than I could have ever thought to ask for. Now just for closing to pan out…

On another note, since Kyle and I are moving to Washington, we figured it would be a good time to start liking seafood more (as if living in Florida wasn’t already reason enough). So for my burger fiend husband, I came up with these simple, yummy salmon burgers.

You should give these a try tonight! or this weekend..For me? I’m off to start enjoying my relaxing weekend! How about you? Got any big plans?

    These look amazing! One question: how do you keep those delicate burgers from falling apart on the grill? I always have a terrible time grilling seafood. Do you use a special grill pan? What level heat? Can’t wait to try. :)
