Mmmm....Salmon

I love salmon. It's one of those versitile quick cooking foods and it's great for you. How about in a burger - kids like that - let's call ..em Curried Salmon Burgers with Yam fries.

First fill a stock pot with about 1" of oil (canola or peanut) heat on med/high heat. While the oil heats start up the grill and get it hot. Slice yams in french fry size (1/4" square by whatever length you like). Fry to nearly changing colour and remove to paper towel lined plate in batches - once they are all done they get another dip in the tub just until they change colour. Meanwhile olive oil and s&p on the salmon add a pinch of cinnamon and paprika as well - plays well with the curry. For the mayo - mix 1/2 c. mayo, 1/4 tsp. curry or more if you like, 1 tsp. fresh grated ginger (keep it in the freezer, grates up easy and keeps for months), and about 2 tsp. fresh lemon or lime juice. Stir.

To build your burgers: Multigrain dinner rolls are a great size for kids and the adults can have 2 or 3 depending on your appetite. Spread curry mayo on both sides of the roll top with salmon and lettuce. Serve with Yam fries and curry mayo for dipping. We had cantelope and green grapes on the side as well.

Hope your family likes it as much as mine...
