    I added the syns for the burgers because I'm trying to be ultra-strict after my fall off the wagon the first day!!! - When I buy meat at the butchers, I take it home and trim it completely. When I buy burgers from the butchers, he takes the steak and minces it, trimming off most of the fat but...

    There's an idea - Thanks Mrs V....I actually have a salmon steak in the freezer, so I'll try it and see if there's any real difference to how I usually cook it - I've kind of got into the habit of drizzling olive oil on everything - things are gonna change round here!!!
