Summer Salmon Burgers (September 9)

September 9, 6:00 - 8:00 PM
Traverse Mountain
Chef Sterling West

Join us for a vibrant, summer-inspired cooking class where fresh flavors and simple techniques come together in a delicious, satisfying menu in tandem with our in-house dietitian, Janelle!

You’ll start by learning how to prepare perfectly seasoned salmon cakes—crispy on the outside, tender and flaky inside—served on buttery, lightly toasted brioche buns with the option of crisp Bibb lettuce wraps. We’ll pair them with a bright, lighter homemade tartar sauce, featuring fresh herbs, citrus, and just the right balance of tang.

Next, we’ll create a refreshing summer pasta salad, packed with seasonal ingredients and tossed in a light, zesty dressing that highlights the best of warm-weather produce. Alongside it, you’ll roast a colorful medley of summer vegetables to bring out their natural sweetness and depth of flavor.

To finish, indulge your sweet side with a classic strawberry shortcake on angel food cake. Chef will assemble layers of tender angel food cake, juicy macerated strawberries, and softly whipped greek yogurt cream for a dessert that’s as beautiful as it is irresistible.

This class is perfect for home cooks of all levels looking to sharpen their skills, work with fresh seasonal ingredients, and bring a taste of summer to their table. Come hungry and leave inspired!
