Salmon Oat Burger

I  have been making these for years, long before my blog.  When I became a vegetarian, I realized I had to find a way to get protein, and I really didn't like salmon, so I would disguise the taste with condiments and other ingredients.  25 years later, I do eat meat again, but I still love these burgers. This burger is packed with vitamin and nutrients, I could go on and on.  Ill stick to the big ones, in no particular order. 
Salmon contains Omega 3's which I have talked about over and over again.  It is a great nutrient that helps lower the risk of heart disease, and reduces joint pain.  Salmon is also high in vitamin D, Vitamin B12 and Niacin.
Oats helps remove cholesterol from digestive system, and also is very high in fiber.
Tomatoes containing lycopene which is one of the most powerful antioxidens consumable.

2 (7 ounce cans) pink salmon
3/4 cup old fashioned oats
1/3 cup milk
1 egg
1/2 cup diced tomato
1/2 cup corn
2 tsp franks red hot sauce
1 tsp onion powder
salt and pepper to taste

mix all ingredients together
form 4-6 burgers
heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in large skillet
place burgers in skillet and cook 7-8 minutes on each side
