Joann Brasington of Sumter, South Carolina reports that this tasty change-of-pace sandwich is as quick to prepare as your favorite hamburger. "My husband likes his topped with melted Swiss cheese and Dijon mustard. Salmon can be substituted for a more 'elegant' burger," she adds.

Fabulous alternative if you're getting all (beef) burgered out. Was concerned with it being mushy when mixing the ingredients, but after cooking, it's just perfect. If you like tuna, make this. You'll be happy you did!
