Ingredients

	2 large peach(es), diced
	1 small jalapeno pepper(s), cored, seeded and finely chopped (do not touch seeds with your bare hands)
	1 tsp fresh lemon juice
	1 1/2 tsp sugar
	1/8 tsp table salt
	2 Tbsp cilantro, fresh, chopped Burgers
	14 3/4 oz canned salmon, red, drained, broken into small chunks
	1 medium scallion(s), finely chopped
	2 1/2 tsp lemon zest
	1 large egg(s), beaten
	1/4 tsp black pepper
	3 1/2 Tbsp dried bread crumbs, whole-wheat variety

Instructions

• To prepare salsa, combine peaches, jalapeno and lemon juice in a medium bowl; add sugar and mix well. Stir in salt and cilantro and toss gently to mix; set aside.
  
  
• Preheat grill.
  
  
• To prepare burgers, place salmon in a medium bowl and mash salmon bones with the back of a fork. Add scallion, lemon zest, egg, pepper and bread crumbs; mix well. Shape salmon mixture into four 1-inch-thick patties.
  
  
• Gently place burgers in a grill basket or on a grill rack and grill at medium-high heat for 3 to 5 minutes. Flip burgers and grill until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes more. Serve salmon burgers with peach salsa on the side. Yields 1 burger and about 1/2 cup of salsa per serving.

Notes

• The burgers can be broiled instead of grilled: Coat a broiler rack with cooking spray, preheat broiler and broil 4 inches from the heat for 2 to 3 minutes per side.
