How did I get this recipe?

The moment I found this recipe is one that will always be special to me. It was a sunny day in the early 1970s, and I was visiting my dear friend Mary in her quaint little cottage by the sea. Mary was a fantastic cook, and I always looked forward to her delicious meals whenever I paid her a visit.

On that particular day, Mary invited me into her cozy kitchen and told me she had a new recipe to try out. She called it "Mini-Salmon Burgers," and I was intrigued. I had never heard of such a dish before, but Mary assured me that it was a family favorite and always a hit with her guests.

As we got to work in the kitchen, Mary shared the story of how she came across the recipe. She told me that many years ago, she had attended a cooking class in the city where a renowned chef taught her how to make these delicious little burgers. Mary had put her own spin on the recipe over the years, adding her own special touch to make it truly unique.

I watched as Mary expertly combined fresh salmon, breadcrumbs, herbs, and spices to create the perfect mixture for the mini burgers. The aroma that wafted through the kitchen was simply divine, and my mouth watered in anticipation of tasting the finished product.

Once the burgers were formed and cooked to perfection, Mary served them up on a platter with a side of tangy dill sauce. I took my first bite and was immediately hooked. The flavors exploded in my mouth, and I knew that I had to learn how to make these mini salmon burgers for myself.

Mary graciously shared the recipe with me, and I made sure to write it down in my trusty recipe book. Over the years, I have made these mini salmon burgers for countless family gatherings, dinner parties, and special occasions. They have become a staple in my repertoire, and I always think fondly of Mary and that sunny day by the sea whenever I whip up a batch.

To make the mini salmon burgers, you will need the following ingredients:

- 1 pound fresh salmon, skin removed and diced into small pieces

- 1 cup breadcrumbs

- 1 small onion, finely chopped

- 2 cloves of garlic, minced

- 1 teaspoon dried dill

- 1 teaspoon paprika

- Salt and pepper to taste

- 2 eggs, beaten

- Olive oil for cooking

In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced salmon, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, dill, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly distributed. Add the beaten eggs to the mixture and stir until everything is well combined.

Using your hands, form the salmon mixture into small patties, about the size of a golf ball. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the mini burgers for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Serve the mini salmon burgers hot with a dollop of dill sauce on top. You can also serve them on mini buns with lettuce, tomato, and any other toppings of your choice.

I hope you enjoy making and eating these mini salmon burgers as much as I do. They are a true delight for the taste buds and always a crowd pleaser. Thank you, Mary, for introducing me to this wonderful recipe that has become a cherished part of my culinary repertoire. Cheers to good food, good friends, and good memories!
