Recipe

Salmon Burgers + Chipotle Lime Crema

  • Everything about this is write. The fish swap for beef. The citrusy but slightly smokey crema. The crunchy pickled onions. It actually screams summer.

    Make these for dinner, only double the recipe. Because the next day, when your digging your feet not the sand, breathing in the salty air, THIS is what you’ll be craving.

    Happy Summer Everyone!

    3. 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
    4. 1/4 tsp salt

    2. Let sit for at least two hours

    Notes

    1. *This can stay in your fridge for up to two weeks!
    2. **This recipe is for Israeli shallots which are very small. If you are outside of Israel, or using a purple onion instead of shallots, double all the ingredients (besides the onion).
