Usually once a week, I serve my family fish (hey, we need the brain food!) ...and it's usually either salmon or halibut, our two favorite kinds of fish. Fortunately, everyone in my house LOVES fish...so, that helps. However for anyone who might not particularly care for it, this is a great recipe! You get your needed nutrients that fish provides us, w/out the fishy taste!

We all certainly enjoyed our Salmon Burgers for lunch today! And of course, it's a recipe from Paula Deen. :)
