Salmon Burgers

We had family for dinner this evening.  I made Salmon Burgers, and beef burgers to give my guests a choice.  I would so make these salmon burgers again in a heart beat.  So good!  I used a Paula Deen (and not a speck of butter in this recipe!) that was rated highest on many food websites.  After tasting, I definitely see why.  Many reviews claimed quality canned salmon could be substituted easily for fresh ground.  I chose wild caught salmon fillets that I ground myself.  Don't skip the Sesame mayonnaise, it made the burger delish!
