I LOVE Grilled Salmon Burgers!

Are you as shocked as I am to hear me say that? I cannot believe I found my first cooked fish recipe (especially Salmon) that I LIKE and it isn't sushi related. I made up these fabulous 4 WWP burgers last night from the JUMP START Book and modified them a bit. Click HERE for the recipe.

The only modification I made to the burger was to use yellow curry for the coriander. Instead of using the Tahini Sauce they had in the book, I made up my own burger topping.

6 Tbsp crushed pineapple, undrained
3 Tbsp FF Greek Yogurt

Top as needed and feel free to use extra pineapple as this reallhy adds a good sweet flavor.

I used an Ezekial Bun topped with spinach and tomato. All together for a total of 6 pts.

For dessert I had 1 cup of grapes ~ Arn't these the hugest red grapes you have ever seen? A fabulous 7 WWP lunch that was so easy to make.

After lunch we were off to pick up The Husband as he was our token Car Pool Person. He is such a trooper - he went to support me but also so we didn't have to sit in traffic. In San Francisco it takes 3 to car pool ~ Thanks, Hubs - you rock - love ya!

We arrived in San Fran with time to spare so we headed over to this little American Pub with a Great Name ~ Grumpy's American Pub.

I LOVED the atmosphere. I do wonder how all the dollars got stuck on the ceiling - how many drinks does it take to get a dollar up there? :D

Rachel LOVED the sign and wanted to take it home to post for her kiddos to see.

The Husband was up to his clowny self when I told him he was going to have to take pictures. Can you believe he eats the lemon peel and all every time?

He had a BLT with potato salad and some fries for us to share. I had a couple of these but they were eh, ok, not worth the calories and I was still full from my lunch. We didn't end up getting drinks since the studio said you wouldn't be able to leave for bathroom breaks at all (for 2 hours ~ gasp!).

We headed over to the ABC studios next. I have decided to do a separate post for this in order to do it justice ~ too much fun stuff, not to share it all. Up next ~ Our dinner before the Hungry-Girl Book Signing.

  1. The salmon burgers look great! I'll have to try the recipe from my Jump Start book one of these days.

  2. Felishdadish ~ I do not like salmon other than in sushi and raw. But, these burgers are awesome. I'd make them again. I made them a little different from the book as noted above, but, I imagine following the book recipe would be just as good.
