Salmon Burgers With Pickled Cucumbers

Healthy Fact of the Day

Salmon is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for heart and brain health. It's also rich in high-quality protein and vitamin D. By making burgers from scratch, you can control the ingredients and avoid additives often found in pre-made patties. The pickled cucumbers add a probiotic element, which may support digestive health.

Ingredients

For the pickled cucumbers:

1 English cucumber, thinly sliced
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt

Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
