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.
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.
Same here Laura, so frustrating! Oh that gelato sounds so good…. They like to make some products seasonal.
