President’s Choice got me all excited to make their PC Loads Of Spinach & Parmesan Atlantic Salmon Burgers slathered with PC Sriracha Mayo Sandwich Spread for dinner after going out to the movies.
The Products
I thought it would make the perfect combo and loved the idea of a salmon burger loaded with spinach and Parm.
It sounded so tasty!
You will find the salmon burgers in the frozen food section. You get 4 burgers per box. Two burgers in two packages, which was perfect for us.
As usual, with any spicy product I was a little nervous about using the PC Sriracha Mayo Sandwich Spread.
The Taste Test
I grilled up two of the salmon burgers and served them on everything bagels.
I generously added the spicy mayo spread to the bottom and drizzled on top of the salmon burger.
Foodie Results
Sigh… Boring! I found the salmon burger to taste just like a normal salmon burger and I could barely register the heat or flavour of the mayo, which shocked me. Reg is not a fan of salmon and said that it was the best salmon burger he had had but I was hoping for so much more flavour. It was just a salmon burger and the mayo spread just seemed to disappear. I have used it on other sandwiches since and I have to use a lot of it before I really notice it which is a shame.
I used to get their avocado spread all the time and LOVED it and put it on everything but it no longer seems to be available. I would much prefer it to this Sriracha Mayo Sandwich Spread which needs to be used in a large quantity to be appreciated. Definitely too “mellow” for this foodie.
I give both products three out of five wooden spoons and a “meh” rating. Neither lived up the the hype. How can something be red hot AND mellow? Grrrrr…

Good blog Suzie , as usual . It’s a fair and thorough assessment of the products .
As you know not a fan of processed foods. One thing i do note , the salmon is Atlantic & unless it’s noted otherwise it’s farmed fish which makes me wonder why Suzuki & Co. aren’t all over Loblaw’s . I’ll bet if you bought a bit of fresh sea caught salmon (any species) you could whip up a 5 spoon burger on your own .

Thank you Wayne! PC has been trying hard to support sustainable fishing which some thing farmed fish helps.
The Happy Whisk says
I used to buy salmon burgers and make them, back in the day. Now, either way, they just get me sick. I could add beet juice to my garbanzo burger to try and tick myself, but I think I’d know.
Anyway, have a yummy weekend.

You don’t like salmon burgers? I was hoping for so much additional flavour but all I got was… salmon. Boring. Happy weekend to you too!

I hate when Loblaws/Superstore discontinues products. Many moons ago they had this blue label lemon gelato and it was SO good, I still think about it and the raspberry flavour one.
Suzie the Foodie says
Same here Laura, so frustrating! Oh that gelato sounds so good…. They like to make some products seasonal.
