Healthy Salmon Quinoa Burgers

16 oz Wild Salmon Fillet, skin removed

1 tsp Olive Oil

⅓ cup Diced Shallots

1 cup Kale, chopped

Kosher Sea Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper, to taste

¾ cup Cooked Quinoa

2 tbsp Dijon Mustard

½ tsp Old Bay

1 Large Egg, beaten

For the salad:

2 ½ tbsp Olive Oil

2 ½ tbsp Champagne Vinegar

2 tbsp Minced Shallots

1 ¼ tsp Dijon Mustard

Sea Salt and Black Pepper, to taste

10 Loose Cups of Baby Arugula

1 Large Pink Grapefruit, peeled and diced

In a small bowl, whisk the olive oil, vinegar, shallots, dijon, salt and pepper.

Cut about a 4 oz piece off or the salmon and place in a food processor or chopper to finely chop. This will help hold the burgers together.

With a knife finely chop the remaining salmon, transfer to a large work bowl.

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, add the oil and saute shallots and kale. Season with salt and pepper and cook over medium heat until wilted and tender, about 4 to 5 minutes.

Transfer to the bowl with salmon along with quinoa, Dijon, Old Bay and egg. Mix to combine, then form into 5 patties, about 1/2 cup each.

Lightly heat a nonstick grill pan or skillet over medium heat, when hot spray with oil and add the salmon patties. Cook the 4 to 5 minutes, then gently turn and cook an additional 4 to 5 minutes, or until cooked through.

Toss the dressing with the arugula and grapefruit; divide on four plates.

Top each salad with a salmon burger.
