These Salmon Burgers with Red Pepper & Capers are super fast and easy to make, and are a delicious, healthy weeknight dinner that the entire family will love. 

I love, love, love the creativity that results from ‘clean-out-the-pantry’ month when it results in a delightfully simple yet delicious recipe, don’t you?

Salmon Burgers with Red Peppers and Capers - inspirationkitchen.comI stand there with the panty door wide open, the auto-light on, with my arms crossed, staring at the staples for what seems like hours, wondering what on earth will taste good together.  Because I want to “make do” with what I have.  And, oh yeah…you need to make it fast, because of course, everyone is starving.  No pressure there! 

Have you ever been there?

Yet, every once in a while…you’re just lucky enough to stumble upon a recipe that surprises you.  One that is easy, simple and quick to prepare, and yet ~ oh so wonderfully tasty.

And…because of it, you can’t wait for the next time you get to stand staring at the pantry again, waiting to come up with your next food-show-worthy recipe, that you can make again and again.

Oh how I love those type of recipes on a weeknight!

So, as I stared at the half of dozen cans of salmon that I’d bought on impulse at Costco, I just knew I had to find something wonderful and delightful to do with it.  Who knew that these flavor packed salmon patties would fit the bill so perfectly?

We’ve been on a bit of a health kick lately, so we didn’t break out the hamburger buns and slather a nice, thick layer of the lemon caper sauce on them, and instead decided to serve it on the side with a simple side salad.  It was absolutely fabulous and light ~ it’s definitely going into our rotation!

Enjoy!
