Spicy Salmon Burgers

What I love about this recipe is that it's quick, easy, and great for meal prep!

Canned salmon has a long shelf life, so it's a good option for an item to keep on hand if you need a last-minute dinner idea without having to worry about the fish spoiling or going to waste before you can use it!

Salmon is a great source of healthy fats, is high in protein, and packed with vitamins and minerals. The rolled oats are also an added source of protein, as well as fiber to leave you feeling full and satisfied!
