Caveman Cuisine: Salmon Burgers

Cheap and tasty, these salmon burgers will make you say, "Want some salmon cake?"

Ingredients:

1 large (~14oz) can salmon

1 tbsp roasted green chilis (I like the preservative free Hatch brand)

1/4 white onion (diced)

3 cloves garlic (diced)

1 egg yolk 

2-3 large basil leaves (finely chopped)

Fresh black pepper

Avocado oil (to grease pan)

Sour cream or coconut cream (optional for topping)

Sriracha hot chili sauce (optional for topping)

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.  Cover a a baking sheet with aluminum foil and grease with a small amount of avocado oil (coconut oil or butter would work as well). 

In a large bowl, thoroughly mix all ingredients except sour cream/coconut cream and Sriracha.  Form the mixture into 3-4 patties and place on the greased baking sheet.

Cook the burgers for 20-25 minutes.

Top the burgers with a dollop of sour cream or coconut cream and a drizzle of Sriracha.

Note: If you want a simple, complete dinner, toss 1/2 head broccoli and 1/2 head cauliflower with 2-3 tbsp avocado oil and put in a roasting pan.  The veggies will take just about the same amount of time to cook as the burgers and make for a delicious side.
