I've been trying out lots and lots of new ideas for Paleo Breakfast Recipes (more on that soon!) and was particularly pleased with Sunday's creation of salmon burgers. I could eat eggs every day, but I know a lot of people get fed up with eggs – and believe it or not bacon, so this Recipe is something different.

Salmon Burgers
Equipment
- Baking Tray
- Brush
Ingredients
- 2 large Portabella mushrooms
- 2 large tomatoes as close in size to the mushrooms as possible
- 500 g salmon I used two pieces from the fishmongers
- Coconut oil
- Salt I used Celtic sea salt
- Fresh lime
- Paprika
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 200C (400F) while you wash the tomatoes and mushrooms.
- Prepare the Mushrooms: Carefully cut the stalks off the mushrooms and set them aside for another use (like adding to a batch of Paleo Chili; waste not, want not).
- Slice the Vegetables: Cut the mushrooms into two slices each. Then, cut the tomatoes into four slices each, after removing the tops and bottoms.
- Cut the Salmon: Use a large glass or a biscuit cutter to cut 8 rings out of the salmon pieces. The glass should be similar in diameter to the mushrooms.
- Arrange on Baking Tray: Arrange the mushrooms, tomatoes, and salmon rings onto a baking tray. Brush with coconut oil and sprinkle with a little salt.
- Bake: Cook in the preheated oven for about ten minutes.
- Assemble the Burgers: Once cooked, assemble the burgers by starting with a bottom slice of mushroom, alternating layers of tomato and salmon, and ending with the mushroom top.
- Finish and Serve: Serve with a squeeze of lime, a pinch of paprika, and some spinach leaves if desired.
This was a really simple breakfast to make but looked impressive and was very filling. If you give it a try, I’d love to hear what you think of the recipe below! Additionally, what do you think about fish for breakfast?

This looks great! I do love eggs but, you're right, I sometimes want another breakfast option. I'll be putting this into the rotation, thanks!
Thanks Hannah – hope you enjoy!
I do enjoy salmon so this will go down a treat. Though I am lazy when it comes to cooking, so maybe just for a weekend treat.
It's nice to spend time at the weekends making some special breakfasts!
Looks awesome, I may even give it a whirl this weekend.Fish in the morning is great… especially with eggs. Scrambled egg and smoked mackerel – YUM!
LEt me know how it goes Eliot!
I could eat eggs every day too… what would make this dish even more AMAZING would be to swap out a salmon patty (every other) with a fried egg!! Fish & Eggs = Better than getting an 8 hour back massage!
That's a great idea! I'll have to try that GiGi!
I love the idea of using a large mushroom as the ‘bun' and it gives so many opportunities although I'm not sure personally on teh meatiness of the mushroom with salmon. I'd more consider a nice couple of grilled rations of bacon or a nice thin slice of lean steak.
Instead of the oven I find my old George Foreman grill is great for breakfast- I even take it in to work.
