Salmon Burgers with Lemon Basil Mayo
A lemony mayo sauce for salmon burgers takes these to the next level. I am not a big fish eater, but my family is, so I had to find a way to serve fish we all liked. These salmon burgers were the perfect solution for us! Serve on hamburger buns with your preferred garnish (lettuce, tomato, onion, etc.).
Squash and Kohlrabi Empanadas
Need to sneak some vegetables by a picky eater? These empanadas, inspired by a trip to Mendoza, Argentina, are the perfect vehicle for spicing up boring vegetables. Use homemade dough if you want, but for those short on time as we all usually are, store-bought pie crust works great. Switch up the vegetables with what is in season.
