Comments:
This recipe has a distinctly Mexican flavor. For a Greek variation, try chopped fresh oregano, thyme, minced onion and garlic.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve alone or tucked into a whole-wheat pita.
Ingredients:
1 pound salmon fillet, skin removed and cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tsp. plus 1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream
1-1/2 tsp. Dijon mustard
1 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/4 tsp. salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 (8 ounce) head romaine, shredded
1 medium avocado, cubed
2 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil
2 tsp. fresh lime juice
1 tbs. chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 tsp. cayenne

Instructions:
1. In a food processor, combine salmon chunks, 2 tsp of the sour cream, mustard, chili powder, cumin, 1/8-tsp of the salt, and 1/8 tsp ground black pepper; pulse until just mixed together, 15 to 20 times. Form mixture into 4 patties about 3/4 inch thick on top of some plastic wrap.

2. Lightly coat a grill or grill pan (or non-stick frying pan) with cooking spray and heat to medium-high. Grill patties until cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side.

3. While patties are cooking, in a large bowl combine lettuce, avocado, oil, 1 tsp of the lime juice, and remaining 1/8 tsp salt. Season with black pepper to taste.

4. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/4 cup sour cream, remaining 1 tsp lime juice, cilantro and cayenne.

5. Divide salad among 4 plates and place a burger alongside. Top each burger with a dollop of the cilantro sour cream and serve.
