Salmon Burgers with Summer Salad

These burgers turned out fantastic, despite being a total improvisation.  A pound of salmon, a little bread crumbs, some bottled teriyaki sauce, and a spin in the food processor.  I lightly coated the outsides with bread crumbs before pan-frying them.  They were great on thin sandwich buns with some lettuce, although I might add a little sauce of some sort to the sandwiches.  Teriyaki mayo of some sort? Wasabi mayo?  Just a little teriyaki thickened up?

The salad was also great, very light and summery and nice after a hot few days.  Cucumbers, tomatoes, and radishes in a tahini-lemon-yogurt dressing, with cayenne, cumin, and garlic.

Spinach and Ham Casserole

This casserole was good, with a nice flavor and a good consistency.  It would be easy to prepare and assemble, then bake the next day.  It's a bit light on the vegetables - we ate the rest of the fruit salad to round it out, but maybe a side salad or adding some red peppers?

I used red onions and skim milk with a lot less Gruyere.  It was a bit less saucy than I think whole milk would have done, but it might also sauce up overnight.  I'm excited for the leftovers, as I think it all meld together well.
