Wild Salmon Bacon Burgers from Further Food

Prep Time: 25 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Servings: 4

INGREDIENTS
1 pound wild-caught salmon
4 pieces of AIP-approved bacon
2 cups chopped leeks (white parts)
2 medium sized leeks (sliced longways and chopped)
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 cups cucumber (seeds and skins removed, chopped)
2 cups fradicchio (finely chopped)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon bacon grease

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. On a cookie sheet (don’t use a flat one, be sure to use one that has edges all around it) place salmon and the bacon.

  2. Bake at 400 degrees for about 18 minutes. Bacon should be brown and crispy and salmon should be cooked through.

  3. While salmon and bacon are cooking, sauté leeks on medium heat in olive oil for 15 minutes, stirring often.

  4. After taking salmon and bacon out of oven, add leeks and bacon to food processor. (reserve bacon fat left on cookie sheet for cooking the burgers)

  5. Pulse for about 10 seconds (until it looks like pesto).

  6. Add salmon (remove skin first if it has any) and a pinch of salt to food processor and the leek/bacon mixture. Pulse a few times until combined (about 10 seconds).

  7. Transfer to bowl and form into 4 patties.

  8. Cook in skillet with a bit of the bacon fat from the cookie sheet
    for about 5 minutes on each side on medium heat. I used a cast iron
    skillet because it is very seasoned and quite non-stick.

  9. After cooking burgers, set on plate.

  10. Add cucumber, radicchio, lime juice, olive oil and salt to bowl and
    toss to combine. Serve!
