Ingredients
Aioli:
- 1/4 cup reduced calorie or regular mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Soy Glaze:
- 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 glass chilled Sutter Home Sauvignon Blanc
Burgers:
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons aioli
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Asian hot chili sauce or bottled hot sauce
- 1 1/4 pounds skinless salmon fillets, chopped finely
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves
- 2/3 cup bread crumbs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Vegetable oil
- 4 sesame buns, split
- 1/2 cucumber, peeled, seeded, and julienned
- Radish or soy bean sprouts for garnish, optional
Directions
Prepare grill with a medium fire for direct-heat cooking. In a small bowl, combine aioli ingredients. Reserve 2 tablespoons for burgers and chill remainder until serving time.
Combine soy sauce, honey, and rice vinegar in a small, heavy saucepan. Mix cornstarch and 1 tablespoon wine in a small bowl until smooth and add to soy mixture. Place over grill and stir mixture until glaze boils and thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Meanwhile, sip a glass of Sutter Home Sauvignon Blanc, saving remainder for grilling. Set glaze aside. In a large bowl, whisk together egg, aioli, sour cream, lime juice, and chili sauce. Stir in salmon, onion, mint, bread crumbs, and salt to combine. Coat hands with vegetable oil and form 4 patties. Brush grill with vegetable oil and grill patties until browned on bottom, about 3 minutes. Turn patties and brush cooked side with soy glaze. Cook 3 minutes, turn, and brush other side with glaze. Grill just until done, about 4 to 6 minutes, turning and brushing with glaze frequently. During the last few minutes of cooking toast buns, cut side down, on outside of grill. Place cucumber strips on bottom half of bun, top with burgers, aioli, and bun tops. Garnish with sprouts, if desired.

The complexity of this recipe reflects the complexity of the flavors. The mellow salmon brushed with the sweet salty glaze topped with the zesty aioli was simply a masterpiece in your mouth! To make life easier I just pulsed chunks of fresh salmon in the food processor, just be careful not to over process. I've passed this recipe onto friends and plan to use it for always.

based on other people's reviews, I took the egg down to egg white to eliminate the wetness. However, I will NOT use canned salmon, and the flavor of this recipe was not worth the skinning and fine chopping of the salmon. It may not be as low in fat, but salmon patties from left over cooked fillets are much more flavorful and faster and easier!! The alioli is good- it will be good with steamed artichokes too. I don't mind a lot of work, but the end result must show it
