Salmon Burgers with Mango Salad

I've made a few versions of salmon burgers before but this by far is my favorite.  Topping these juicy, delicate burgers with avocado, mango and cucumber adds a light and crunchy pop of flavor.  The mango's sweetness and the creaminess of the avocado pair perfectly with salmon. You can pop this between two buns or on top of half an English muffin for a more well rounded meal but if you are looking for a lighter dish enjoy this one as is or on top of a bed of lettuce.  As the temperatures heat up, these salmon burgers will definitely be my go-to instead of the tired ol' veggie burger.
See you all back here soon!
