Salmon Burgers

Cut up the onion into coarse chunks and place in a blender. Puree until smooth.

Drain the pureed onions in a sieve, stirring occasionally to remove most of the liquid.

Cut the salmon into chunks and toss into the blender with the onions, garlic, mustard, mayo, cayenne, salt and pepper. If using the mushroom, add these now as well.

Blend indredients at low to medium speed until you have a coarse mixture similar to ground beef.

Transfer the mixture from the blender to a mixing bowl, and mix the breadcrumbs in by hand, adding enough to make a firm texture.

Form into burgers. If you are freezing them, place them in plastic wrap, a plastic bag or a vacuum sealed bag. They will keep this way for at least two weeks.

To cook: Thaw the burgers. Set a broiler to low or medium heat. Place the burgers onto a lightly oiled sheet of foil. Cook until the top is a light brown. Flip the burgers and cook the other side.
