Salmon burgers with a caper yoghurt dressing
Method
To make the Salmon Burger Patties, place all ingredients into a food processor and pulse until a coarse paste forms. Using a pair of kitchen gloves, remove the mixture from the processor and form 2 patties.
Heat oil in a medium pan over medium high heat. Add patties and cook for 4 minutes on each side.
In the meantime, prepare the Caper Yoghurt Dressing by mixing all ingredients in a small bowl. That’s it.
To serve, cut open your burger buns. Spread dressing over the bottom half of each bun. Add lettuce, top with mashed avocado, salmon burger patties and sliced cucumber. Top with the other bun half and enjoy!

Tips and Tricks
Extra yoghurt needn’t go to waste – try using it in place of some of the oil in cake recipes. This works especially well with chocolate or coffee cakes.
Stop leftover cut avocado going brown by sprinkling with lemon juice and wrapping tightly to store in the fridge for 1-2 days.
If you need to ripen avocados, place in a brown paper bag away from direct sunlight for 2-5 days and add an apple or banana to hasten the ripening process.
