TOASTED PINE NUTS CRUSTED SALMON BURGERS (Serves 2-4)
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup (4 cups to a pound) Pine Nuts
1 lb Salmon
1 Egg
1/2 Small Onion, chopped
1/2 Bell Pepper, chopped
1/2 tsp Paprika
1/2 tsp Dried Parsley
Pepper to taste
METHOD:
Heat a dry skillet over high heat and toast the pine nuts, tossing occasionally until they are light brown all over. Let cool, then toss into a food processor and pulse into a coarse meal. Set aside.
Cut the salmon into chunks, then place in the food processor. Pulse until finely ground, then transfer to a bowl with 1/3 cup of the ground pine nuts, egg, onion, pepper, and seasoning. Mix well.
Form the mixture into 4 balls, then flatten into patties. Coat each side with the remaining ground pine nuts. Arrange on a baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes, or until lightly browned.
