Salmon Burgers

Hihihihihi!

I had the best lunch ever yesterday!  Me and my mom made salmon burgers...yaaay! We ate them with lettuce and buns and apples.  Not only that, we didn't have to use our expensive salmon filets, because we can use canned salmon for salmon burgers.



I really like salmon burgers because they don't take as long to cook as plain old salmon, and they're great for things like cookouts and for times when you don't feel like eating fancy but you don't feel like eating a hamburger.  Besides, they're really healthy for you, like all fish, because they're big on omega-3 fatty acids and other good stuff for you as well.

It's recommended that you eat fish at least twice a week to stay healthy, but don't eat it every day because you might turn into one (giggle, giggle!).  I think that people should eat more fish to be more healthy.  Besides they're yummy.  But due to dwindling resources in in our oceans and rivers the best choice for fish would probably be farmed trout.  Why?  Because trout are small they are much less likely to have harmful chemical or waste in them like mercury (yuk!).  And, trout are very good at turning feed into body fat.  Salmon aren't so good at that.  Besides, think of how many sardines you'd have to grind up to turn into salmon chow when people could eat them.  Not very efficient if you ask me.  In all truth, you should compare farming big fish to farming lions.  I mean, think about it.  Lions are big powerful animals that don't like being confined to small spaces much like salmon and tuna.   Trout, however, are small, easy to contain and don't mind being in close proximity to their peers.  And if you're going to buy farmed fish I recommend that you buy American, since while we're not perfect, it's way better than other farm methods.

Ciao!
