Wild Salmon Skinny Burger @ Locanut
Best for lunch or dinner when you crave a burger but want something lighter. This wrap format makes it easy to eat without feeling weighed down, while the salmon delivers high quality protein and omega 3s. It works especially well on days when you want comfort food but still need steady energy.
The patty includes salmon, carrots, garlic, shallots, lemon, and tapioca. It’s baked, not fried, which preserves omega-3s. Nappa slaw and pickled cabbage add fiber, vitamin C, and fermented compounds for gut health. Choosing the collard wrap locks in greens without adding grains.
Salmon Supports More Than Just Energy
Wild salmon is one of the richest natural sources of omega 3 fatty acids, which support cardiovascular health, reduce inflammation, and play a role in brain function. They also benefit the skin by promoting hydration and elasticity. Dermatologists often recommend omega 3 rich diets to help maintain a youthful complexion. Even Victoria Beckham reportedly eats salmon daily to keep her complexion clear and radiant (Vogue, 2024). Choosing salmon in this lighter burger format makes it easy to enjoy those benefits without the heaviness of a traditional bun.
Is tapioca flour gluten-free?
Yes. It’s a cassava-based starch used for binding, naturally gluten-free and neutral in flavor.
Does pickled cabbage help digestion?
Yes. Fermented cabbage provides natural probiotics that support gut barrier health.
Are wild salmon burgers better than beef?
It depends which aspect you're considering. A salmon burger will have lower saturated fats and higher in anti-inflammatory omega-3s.
