Tequila Lime Salmon Burgers
Marinated in fresh lime juice with a good shot of tequila these Salmon Burgers are moist, fresh and delicious. I buy whole salmon filets and grind them in the food processor to make my Tequila Lime Salmon Burger recipe and it makes all the difference. Topped with an easy to make, Homemade Chipotle Pepper Sauce that’s creamy and just a little spicy, the burgers are as delicious as they are easy to make.
