Veggie/salmon burger recipes?

I need recipes for meatless burgers. I posted this in V%26amp;V, too but I think it's smartest to post it in basic recipes. I need recipes for veggie burgers, garden burgers, salmon burgers, etc. Anything that has no cow, chicken, pig, sheep, lamb, etc. I want nothing with meat in it.Veggie/salmon burger recipes?
Chick peas or Black beans are an excellent base for veggie burgers as they can bind all the other ingredients the same way as meat does. Most types of fish accomplish the same thing. You just need to add other ingredients for a nice flavor.





Veggie Burgers with Chick Peas (Garbanzos)


Makes 6 regular size or 12 mini burgers





Ingredients:


2 1/2 cups canned garbanzos, drained and rinsed


4 large eggs


1/2 teaspoon salt


1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro


1 onion, chopped


Grated zest of one large lemon


1 cup alfalfa sprouts (optional)


1 cup toasted (whole-grain) bread crumbs


1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil (or clarified butter)





Combine the garbanzos, eggs, and salt in a food processor. Puree until the mixture is the consistency of a very thick, slightly chunky hummus. Pour into a mixing bowl and stir in the cilantro, onion, zest, and sprouts. Add the breadcrumbs, stir, and let sit for a couple of minutes so the crumbs can absorb some of the moisture. At this point, you should have a moist mixture that you can easily form into 6 large or 12 smaller 1 1/2-inch-thick patties. This makes for a moist, nicely textured burger. You can always add more bread crumbs a bit at a time to firm up the dough if need be. Conversely, a bit of water or more egg can be used to moisten the batter.


Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over medium low, add 4 patties, cover, and cook for 7 to 10 minutes, until the bottoms begin to brown. Turn up the heat if there is no browning after 10 minutes. Flip the patties and cook the second side for 7 minutes, or until golden. Remove from the skillet and cool on a wire rack while you cook the remaining patties. Carefully cut each patty in half, insert your favorite fillings, and enjoy immediately.








This is the Black Bean Burger recipe from Whole Foods.

1 teaspoon dried oregano


1 teaspoon dried basil


1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or granules

Method


Put beans in a large bowl and mash well with a fork. Add egg, yellow onion, bread crumbs, oregano, basil, garlic powder, salt, pepper and hot sauce. Mix well to combine then shape into 6 patties.





Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Arrange patties in a single layer (working in batches, if needed) and cook, flipping once, until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 10 minutes total. Transfer to buns, top with lettuce, tomatoes and red onions and serve.











This recipe is a little more involved, but worth the effort.It's the recipe from Kristine Snyder of Kihei, Hawaii and it was the 2001 Grand Prize winner in Sutter Home's Build a Better Burger Contest.
