Ingredients

Burgers:

• 12 ounces canned wild salmon
• 1 medium egg beaten
• 3 cloves garlic minced
  Garlic and other members of the onion family are loaded with sulfur compounds that significantly drive down inflammation and reduce pain by inhibiting the enzymes directly responsible for joint inflammation. Sulfur is a critical component of both healthy cartilage and healthy joints, yet when analyzing the amount of sulfur in the fingernails of arthritis patients, researchers found that they have far less of this important mineral than people who didn’t have arthritis.
• 1/2 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup walnuts crushed
• 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil or coconut oil

Sauce:

• 1/2 cup plain yogurt
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon orange juice
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger minced

Directions

Lightly drain the salmon and combine it with the egg, garlic, breadcrumbs and walnuts in a bowl and mix gently.

Form into patties and saute in the oil for five minutes on each side.

In a bowl, combine yogurt, lemon juice, honey, ginger, and orange juice and mix well.

Top the burgers with yogurt sauce.

TIPS AND NOTES:
