ATTENTION FISH HATERS: About six months ago, I wouldn't even TRY fish. Due to some health issues, my doctor encouraged me to eat more fish. So reluctantly I tried a "non-fishy" fish...Tilapia! It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. But as my husband and I decided to try eating some healthier dishes, I bought some salmon on a whim. I kept putting off making a salmon dish, but finally, at my husband's prodding, I decided upon this recipe. IT WAS GREAT!!! I was always told that salmon had a pretty "fishy" taste...But the lemon and rosemary really covered that up well. We will definitely be trying this again...And maybe from now on, I'll actually make fish once a week. :)

In my opinion (and my husband's!), these burgers are better than those at Applebee's or Chili's. I took the advice of several other reviews and only added 1/2 tablespoon of liquid smoke flavoring. I also added a 1/2 teaspoon of steak rub seasoning (I used my uncle's personal recipe for that) and they tasted great! I usually like lots of condiments on my burgers...But these are good enough to eat plain!!!
