Let's Get Started…

The Ingredients To Gather:

• 1 1/2 pounds skinless center-cut salmon fillet

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise

• 2 tablespoons Asian fish sauce

• 2 tablespoons sambal oelek

• 2 garlic cloves

• 1 medium shallot

• 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger

• 1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest

• 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro

• 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon chopped mint

• 1 1/2 cups Japanese panko or plain dry bread crumbs

• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

• 2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar

• 1 teaspoon sugar

• 1/2 small green cabbage

• 1 small cucumber—peeled

• 1 small red onion

• 1 small red bell pepper

• 1/4 cup sesame seeds

• 1/4 cup vegetable oil

• 6 onion rolls, split and toasted

The Step By Step Directions To Follow:

1. In a food processor, pulse the chopped salmon about 10 times, or until minced.

2. Scrape the salmon into a bowl. Mix the mayonnaise with the fish sauce, sambal oelek, garlic, shallot, ginger, lemon zest, 2 tablespoons of the cilantro, 1 tablespoon of the mint, 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper. Add the mixture to the salmon along with 1 cup of the panko. Fold the salmon mixture together with a rubber spatula. With lightly oiled hands, pat the mixture into 6 burgers. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.

3. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the lemon and lime juice with the vinegar. Add the sugar; stir until dissolved. Add the cabbage, cucumber, onion, red pepper and the remaining 1/2 cup each of cilantro and mint and toss well.

4. In a shallow bowl, mix the remaining 1/2 cup of panko with the sesame seeds. Pat the mixture onto the salmon burgers.

5. In each of 2 large nonstick skillets, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil until shimmering. Add 3 salmon burgers to each skillet and cook over moderately high heat, turning once, until well browned but barely cooked in the center, about 7 minutes.

Finished!
