Serves 4
3.2 Carbs 447 Calories

Ingredients
4 lrg Portobello Mushrooms, stems removed
2 cans (6oz each) skinless and boneless Pink Salmon, drained and flaked ** See below for Fresh Salmon
3 tbls Extra Virgin Olive Oil divided
1/2 tsp Sea Salt, divided
2 Scallions, finely chopped (may substitute with 1/4 finely chopped Yellow Onion)
1/2 roasted Red Bell Pepper, finely chopped
2 tbls finely chopped Dill
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup Almond Meal

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°. Brush the tops of the mushrooms with one and a half tablespoons of the oil and place, stem side up, on a baking sheet. Drizzle half a tablespoon of the oil over the gills and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Bake for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl combine the scallion or onion, red pepper, salmon, egg, almond meal, dill, and the remaining half teaspoon of salt. Mix well.

Shape into 4 burgers. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Cook the burgers for 4 minutes, turning once, or until browned.

Place one burger on top of each mushroom. Bake for five minutes, or until heated through.

CAKES / BURGERS WITH FRESH SALMON

FRESH SALMON – they can be baked in the oven alongside the portobello mushroom. Just put the salmon on a separate foil-lined pan, brush with a drizzle of olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Bake until they are cooked through, which usually takes 10-15 minutes. Let them cool before mixing in with the other ingredients.
