Mini salmon burgers are the ultimate for both small and large appetites. Great for little appetites, or two per person as a main course. The cool and creamy yogurt topping is a complementary addition to the smoky glazed salmon.
Tabasco chipotle sauce is available in grocery stores. Alternatively, mash 1/2 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce until smooth and add 2 tsp (10 mL) to salmon glaze. For tender taste buds, substitute Tabasco with a little honey and Dijon.
Per serving:
Preheat oven to 400 F (200 C). In small bowl, combine oil and sugar. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Stir in Tabasco and salt and pepper to taste. Brush glaze over salmon pieces and spread out in single layer on baking sheet lined with parchment. Set aside to marinate while preparing remaining ingredients.
Toast buns, cut side down, in hot grill pan until as done as desired. Set aside.
In small bowl, combine Yogurt Caper Dill Sauce ingredients and stir to blend, adding pepper to taste. Refrigerate until ready to assemble.
In preheated oven, bake salmon for 5 to 6 minutes or until desired doneness. Place generous dollops of yogurt sauce on bottom halves of buns. Top each with a piece of bibb lettuce, glazed salmon, red onion, a couple of avocado slices, and bun tops. Serve hot with spiralized cucumber alongside.
This vegan take on classic shepherd’s pie is jam-packed with bold and rich flavours that will ensure no one will miss the meat. While a great source of fibre, lentils also contain the highest amount of folate out of all plant-based foods. Oven ready If you don’t have an ovenproof skillet, you’ll need to transfer cooked lentil filling to a baking dish before topping with mashed sweet potatoes and baking.
Cauliflower has been having a moment lately, and this salad proves exactly why. Tender caramelized cauliflower is crowned in a glorious sweet and savoury crumble that will ensure it a place on your table all month long. Of all tree nuts, pecans have the highest concentration of flavonoids, which offer beneficial anti-inflammatory effects, and they also protect your cells from oxidative damage. Crumble perfection This crumble topping is too good not to use it on other preparations. Sprinkle over a carrot ribbon salad to add some extra pizzazz, use as a glorious garnish on a soup or stew, or consider generously spooning over your next vegetable “steak” to add some delicious textural variation.
This gloriously comforting dish gets its creamy lusciousness from a can of white beans. Feel free to use whatever vegetables you have on hand instead of broccoli. Pass the pasta Instead of regular pasta, consider serving this sauce over zucchini noodles, carrot noodles, or cooked spaghetti squash.
This nut-free take on classic queso dip is everything you want and more.

If you’re okay to eat nuts, try substituting sunflower seeds with 1 cup (250 mL) raw cashews.
