If you’re trying to offer your kids fish, you want to make sure to give them something you know they will love so that fish becomes a food they love and not abhor. From the very beginning both of my kids loved salmon right out of the gate. It has a mild taste, but also a really fatty flavor making it incredibly kid friendly. As I know how good it is for growing brains and especially for the little one growing in my belly, we’ve been eating salmon once or twice a week these days.

While flipping through Rebecca Miller FFrench’s new cookbook, The Ultimate Blender Cookbook, I could totally understand why she called this recipe Family Favorite Salmon Burgers with Quick Pickled Cukes. Not only are they incredibly juicy and simple to make, but they really do give beef burgers a run for their money. They’re a great way to serve one of our favorite omega 3 fatty acid foods in a totally different way besides our usual favorites like Maple Soy Salmon and Sweet Broiled Salmon. I’ve been making Salmon Burgers for years, but the addition of smoked salmon and spinach is unbelievably delicious. If Chloe, hubby and I loved the salmon burgers themselves, we ended up making three recipes of these quick pickled cukes to accompany this tasty dish.
