I was at Costco a few days back and saw these in the freezer case.  Now I will admit I generally avoid the frozen pre-packaged anythings (with the exception of the quick and cheapo burgers since some days you just want a BBQ burger with no prep time) but these Salmon burgers caught my eye.

Costco – Trident® Wild Alaskan Salmon Burgers

I picked up a bag for $12 I believe, and I put two on the grill last night.  They were…interesting.  I like salmon, but I have never had a salmon burger.  I was confused on even how to eat it becuase salmon generally is not served on a bun…ever?  So I put the burger on a bun because thats what burger means to me…”put on bun to eat”.  With a hamburger you put cheese on it, do you put cheese on a salmon burger?  With a fish filet you put tartar sauce on it and a burger you put ketchup…what do you put on a salmon burger?  All these questions led me to just put it on a bun plain and dig in.  It tasted like salmon, but on bread.  I will say that it was kind of confusing for my palate, that whole salmon on a bun thing.

I ate it but it wasn’t very satisfying…I can imagine it would be great if I had a condiment to put on top or if I had used my coal BBQ and given it some smoke instead of my gas grill (it was raining and I was tired).

So my review on these is if you are adventurous with condiments try them out and tell me what I should or shouldn’t put on the rest of these when I cook them…otherwise I think I will just cook them and eat them on a plate like a salmon pattie.
