It’s that time of year when we start preparing your outdoor patio by planting colorful flower pots, dusting off your patio furniture and heating up the grills. We cook the majority of our meals outdoors in the summer time, using our natural gas grill to roast, grill and saute savory, marinated lean meats and nutrient dense vegetables. Everything tastes different when grilled. I love these salmon burgers, firstly because salmon is so good for your heart with its abundant omega-3 fatty acids but also for the added flavors of peppers, onion and garlic…more good things for your heart. Win, Win!
