My family and I enjoy eating a lot of fresh wild salmon. However, it is not always accessible for us so the next best thing is canned wild salmon. I’ve partnered with Gold Seal and created this super fun and delicious Japanese Style Wild Salmon Rice Burger. Not only is this Wild Salmon Burger loaded with calcium, Vitamin-D and Omega-3 but it’s super tasty! I added a fun twist and made a rice bun rather than using the traditional bread bun and ketchup and mustard have been replaced with Tonkatsu sauce and Japanese mayo.

I hope you enjoy them as much as we did!

larger chunks in the patty.

RICE BUNS:
1. Heat greased griddle or large frying pan on med-high heat.
2. Use the same metal mould and place on griddle/pan (make sure the surface is hot) and
pack in cooked rice to make roughly a 1″ thick bun.
3. Cook until the bottom is lightly golden brown (3-4 mins), flip and repeat.

ASSEMBLING THE BURGER:
1. Rice bun, lettuce, salmon patty, drizzle Japanese mayo & Tonkatsu sauce, rice bun, and
sprinkle Furikake for extra crunch and flavour (this is optional).
