Salmon Sliders With Jalapeno Mayo

Right now it’s all about game day and in my house the TV is always on the sports channel either watching the game or highlights. For some reason watching sports brings on a big appetite so it’s great to have bits and bites on hand for the sport enthusiast. I must admit that I’m usually more into the food than the actual game – I’m usually that one person who always has a full plate in hand.   

For the sliders, I kept the flavors simple because I didn’t want the natural flavors of the salmon to get lost. Garlic, cilantro and a splash of lime juice added a touch of freshness while the mayo kept it moist and juicy as it cooked. The spicy jalapeno sauce added just the right amount of heat without overpowering your taste buds; these spicy sliders were a nice change from the traditional burger.
