Create a burger bar and make it interactive with a DIY set-up! Simply pre-heat your grill and have it hot and ready. Pick up some artisan buns and set out a variety of cheeses and spreadables like spicy sriracha mayo, fun mustards, local pickles, and grilled sweet onions. Offer unique patty options to please the whole crowd- like local grass fed beef, veggie black bean burgers, or seasoned turkey patties.<\/p>\n<p>Or why not try my Barbequed Salmon Burgers on Lemon Dill Buns! The smoky grilled salmon patty paired with fresh condiments like lettuce, cucumbers, or a tangy vegetable slaw is knock-your-socks-off delicious. If baking your own buns seems daunting, not to worry! Just pick up your favorite from a local bakery and get to grillin\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure to have your guests bring some tasty sides, ice cold brews, and wine. And while the grill is still hot \u2013 throw on a few bananas for making up some grilled banana splits for a sweet ending \u2013 yum!<br \/>\n-Kathy<\/p>\n<p><b>Barbequed Salmon Burgers<br \/>\nMakes 4 servings<\/b><\/p>\n<p>1 \u00bd lbs boneless, skinless salmon fillet, pin bones removed (ask your fishmonger to do this)<br \/>\n\u00bd tsp black pepper<br \/>\n1 Tbs Dijon mustard<br \/>\n2 Tbs minced onion<br \/>\n1 Tbs fresh dill<br \/>\n1 tsp minced fresh garlic<br \/>\n1 TBS fresh lemon juice<br \/>\n2 TBS dried bread crumbs<br \/>\n\u00be tsp kosher salt<\/p>\n<p>Lemon Dill Buns, or local bakery bun<br \/>\nMayonnaise or Tartar Sauce<br \/>\nAny combination of burger goodies you like, such as tomato, lettuce, onion, cucumbers, vegetable slaw, etc.<\/p>\n<p>To make the burgers, chop the salmon well.
