Ingredients

  • 2 pound fresh or frozen skinless, boneless salmon fillets

  • 1 egg, lightly beaten

  • ¼ cup thinly sliced green onions (2)

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • cup mayonnaise

  • 2 - 3 tablespoon Asian chili sauce (Sriracha sauce)

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or canola oil

  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

  • 1 teaspoon sugar

  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

  • 4 cup shredded cabbage with carrot (coleslaw mix)

  • ¼ cup snipped fresh cilantro

  • Vegetable oil or canola oil

  • Asian sweet chili sauce

  • 6 sesame seed hamburger buns, split and toasted

  • 1 cup thinly sliced seedless cucumber

Directions

  1. Thaw salmon, if frozen. Rinse salmon; pat dry with paper towels. Cut into 1-inch pieces. Place salmon, half at a time, in a food processor. Cover and process until finely chopped. In a large bowl combine egg, green onions, salt, and black pepper. Add chopped salmon; mix gently until combined. Using damp hands, shape mixture into six 1/2-inch-thick patties. Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine mayonnaise and 2 to 3 tablespoons Asian chili sauce. Cover and chill until needed.

  3. For slaw, in a large bowl whisk together 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, and sesame oil. Add shredded cabbage and cilantro; toss to coat.

  4. Lightly brush both sides of salmon patties with additional vegetable oil.

  5. For a charcoal or gas grill, place patties on the rack of a covered grill directly over medium heat. Grill for 6 to 8 minutes or until done (160°F), turning and brushing once with sweet chile sauce halfway through grilling.

  6. To serve, spread cut sides of buns with mayonnaise mixture. Fill with salmon burgers, slaw, and cucumber slices.
