Description
Grilled Salmon Burgers with Avocado Salsa offer a fresh and healthy twist on the classic burger. The rich, flaky salmon is perfectly seasoned with a blend of spices and poblano pepper, giving it a subtle kick. Grilling the patties brings out a delicious smokiness that pairs beautifully with the creamy, zesty avocado salsa.
