Preparing Salmon Burgers

The introduction

Hello everyone, I hope that you are all doing just fine! Today I want to tell you about my sister’s fish and chips, which she made at last.

Well, you know, she’s been to England for some time and I don’t really know whether she ate fish and chips there or not, however, I know, that going there eating them is a must or something like that, because it’s their national dish and if someone went to my country and I suggested them eating Khinkali or Khachapuri or any national dish and they refused eating them, I would be very disappointed and maybe some sort of angry, too, because one should just taste something whether they want it or not when they are visiting other countries and want to see their culture and get to know everything there and sightsee and stuff like that, you know. To tell you the truth, while being there in England, I did taste that fish and chipsand I didn’t really like them. Perhaps the main reason for that was that I don’t really love fish and I just tasted them for the sake of the chips, because I love potatoes fried or Mexican or whatsoever, however, fish is not my thing, I must say.

Anyways, my sister was telling me about some fish sticks and I didn’t really care about that much, because of my love for fish, if you know what I mean, so that she hadn’t bought any while me being there in Georgia, however, I know, that she once tasted them long time ago and liked them and wanted to buy them again this time, however, she couldn’t really find it in the nearby supermarket, where we usually buy some things for home and, I guess, she hadn’t really looked for them in other supermarkets, because you know, they are frozen and taking something frozen for a long way with you isn’t really a pleasure or something like that, and, besides, she could just buy some other things and they have some real good stuff in the supermarkets nowadays and you will just want to have them all at once,  I mean, you will want to taste them all _ in some small pieces, however, you can’t buy those things in small pieces and you have to buy something in its original shape, which is kind of large and it’s just enough for more than one person, so, you have a hard decision to make and choose one thing to eat while you’re on the road to your house or somewhere else. You know, nowadays, most of your day you have to be on the road in some transport or walking in the streets and that’s just really tiring and that’s just wasting your whole precious time when you could just had been more productive and do something useful besides walking somewhere or being stuck in a traffic jam or something like that.

Well, I should tell you that my sister loves fish, especially salmon and she loves those canned fish, too, however, she doesn’t really get to eat them a lot, if you want to know the truth. So, this other time she was in a supermarket called “Zghapari” and she saw these fish chips frozen thereand she bought some and when they prepared them at home and tasted them, everyone liked them, so that it was thought that it was a good idea to buy them again some other time, however, that time never came, I guess. So, this time, my sister wanted to have those fish chips and she started looking for them, however, she saw, that there weren’t any in our supermarket and they had only chicken chips there and nuggets, though there she saw some other fish thing and she bought that one to taste it and that’s when the main thing began, that I want to tell you about.

Salmon Burgers

So, that other day my sister was getting home from her day at the university and stuff like that and it was all cold and getting dark and everything and she was pretty hungry and she was thinking about buying some prepared food and eating it at the supermarket itself. You know, they have some tables and chairs there nearby the exit in that supermarket called “Fresco” and it’s like a small café and when you buy some food in that supermarket , you can just sit there and eat those things there comfortably. And thinking that, she entered the supermarket and went to the prepared dishes’ section, where there were many dishes and they even had a new one, that they didn’t have before, it was this roasted salmon steaks, however, they were kind of small in sizes and then my sister remembered about those fish chips and went down to the fridges, where they have those frozen stuff and looked for those fish chips. Although she didn’t find any fish chips there and all the chips were made from poultry, however, she saw this thing there and it said Salmon Burgers and, as I’ve already mentioned, she loves salmon, so that it looked like those fish chips, however, these were burger-like chips, and they cost just 3.65 Laris, so that she decided to have a taste of them. Besides, she could just put them into her halogen oven and they would be ready in less then 15 minutes,  I guess. And she had some potatoes at home, too, so that she could have some fish and chips at home.

Those salmon burgers were 250 grams and they were packed in a cartonand there were 4 of them inside and they were pretty large pieces, I must say. I don’t know the country of production, however, there were Russian words  on the name of the package.

Preparing fish and chips

Well, my sister just took all those four pieces of salmon burgers and put them in a preheated halogen oven and set 10 minutes and 250 degrees Celsius. Until then, she prepared some potatoes, I mean, she peeled them and washed them and cut them into really thin pieces, so that they would get cooked faster and she seasoned them with some salt and sprinkled some oil on them and put them in the halogen oven, too, with those salmon burgers. So, potatoes needed some time to get ready, of course, so that the burgers were ready in something about 10-15 minutes and the potatoes stayed in the halogen oven for a little longer, maybe for extra 5 or 10 minutes and then they were done, too and she could have these fish and chips!

You know, Mexican potatoes are great with those salmon burgers, too. I mean, after some time, when my father and brother and mother came home, they brought some prepared Mexican potatoes and, well, you know, they are really delicious, and with those salmon burgers, they were pretty tasty, as my sister says. You know, they prepare Mexican potatoes with their skin on and then they add some spices to them and those spices give them a very different taste and you just want to eat them all!

Preparing salmon burgers

Then, my sister remembered, that she had bought an Austrian small bread in Nikora supermarket that day and it’s like a burger bread with sesame seeds on it and it’s kind of delicious, so, she thought that she could have some real fish burgers prepared with that bread, so that she took that bread and cut it into halves and got some things out of the fridge. There was some cheese sauce and yellow sauce and chili ketchup in the fridge and some pickled cucumbers, too. So, she put that cheese sauce on one half of the bread and added that yellow sauce and put those salmon burgers’ pieces on it and then she added some pickled cucumber slices and then the ketchup and put the other half on top and then she put that whole thing into the halogen oven to have it warmed a little bit. After one minute or so she took it out and it was just perfect!  Everything just went well with each other and it was something that you couldn’t say no to. So, that was the real salmon burger now! Besides, it had been a long time since she had last eaten some burger and she was all satisfied with her idea of preparing a burger with those salmon burgers.

You know, these Salmon Burgers appeared pretty good, I mean, you can just buy them and take them home and have them prepared and then you can just put them in a container or something like that and take them with you. Well, I’ve already mentioned, that people waste most of their time in transport and the whole day it’s like they can’t get home and they eat some things at bakeries or in the streets or in the supermarkets and they mostly eat some junk food almost all the time and then their body gets so much waste, that they can’t even imagine. Well, to be honest, most of the things are not those ones, that our ancestors ate, I mean, nowadays, everything is genetically modified and stuff like that, I guess, however, we still need to eat healthy and not that junk food. That’s why supermarkets have those prepared food sold and they get a lot of money from that,I can say, because many people go into supermarkets and buy those stuff. And those supermarkets get more money from it which have those small cafes or tables and chairs inside, where people can sit and eat their prepared food. That’s a really good thing for both supermarkets and their customers, if you want to know the truth.

Anyways, what I’m saying is, that those Salmon Burgers are easy to carry into your bag in a container and you can just take them out and eat them whenever you want and it’s really easy to eat them and you won’t have to get all dirty or something, because they don’t have any sauce or things like that on them, of course, unless you spread some sauce on them. So, I would really recommend preparing them and having them at home, besides, my sister says, that they are pretty delicious, you know. It’s really good for serving your guests, too, I mean, you can buy them and have them in your fridge and if someone visits you or something like that, you can just take them out of the fridge and they are ready in 10-15 minutes and you can really get all imaginary and stuff and prepare many things from them and serve them however you want. And everyone loves burgers, so that you can have burgers with them, too, of course, and that’s pretty easy for everyone, if you ask me. They are those kinds of things, which people usually like on parties and stuff and they are like appetizers, too, and you could serve them in main dishes, too, it all depends on how you prepare them, of course. They are like those nuggets, that are sold in fast food restaurants and everyone just loves them, you know, and they are easy to eat and you can eat them with beer, too, people really like eating fish and things like that with beer and, well, these Salmon Burgers would go just fine with some cold beer! That’s the idea, that just popped in my mind. Why didn’t I think of that earlier?!

Well, I hope, that you will find this article about fish burgers and stuff sort of interesting and helpful and I hope, that my idea of having those Salmon Burgers or fish chips having with you or preparing or whatsoever, will be a good idea for  you, too.
