SALMON BURGERS WITH HORSERADISH CREAM

It's that time of year again.  A month to go before we go on our summer holiday and the panic sets in.  I start thinking about the trips to the beach and what I'll be wearing.  All that lovely food which has to be sampled and of course all the lovely french wine to go with the lovely food.  As a result my Weight Watchers recipe book has been dusted off and given pride of place in my kitchen for the next month - or two.  These burgers are very tasty and substantial enough to not feel like a diet meal.  I served them up with a big bowl of side salad and one was enough for me but I think my hubby was left a bit hungry.  Two for him next time.
