Summer bar-be-que just isn't complete without burgers. Could be any type- fish, chicken, lamb or even veggie ones.
Today we made salmon burgers. The mushrooms and onions sauteed in butter served over the burger gives a rich flavor and enhances the smokiness. Dress the burger anyway you like with mayonnaise, hot sauce, sliced cheese, but it tastes great as is. i used whole wheat kaiser buns instead of the regular burger buns. kaiser buns have a better texture and body.
I served a simple baby spinach salad with cranberries and pecans dressed with a simple vinaigrette. You can add your fave dressing.

Sauteed Mushrooms and Onions

1. Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet. Add 1 large sliced red onion and saute till pink.
2. Add sliced mushrooms and turn the contents around so that they all get coated with butter. Let cook without disturbing for about 2-3 minutes on one side. 
3. Do not add any salt yet as it will make the mushrooms water and prevent them from browning. 
4. Turn the mushrooms over and cook on the other side till rich golden brown.
5. Season with salt and cracked black pepper. Serve hot over the burger.
