I had come across the recipe about 18 months ago when I was looking into making my own salmon burgers. We used to get the Trident ones but we found them getting a bit too salty and they just did not taste as good for one we first started buying them. So, I was on the hunt for recipes to make my own. I had come across one with an Avocado Salsa topping and thought why not add the avocado directly into the burger. After a few tries I worked out the recipe – I hope you enjoy it – This recipe makes about 4 nice size burgers,
