Ingredients

1 pound salmon, skin and fat removed, cut in about 1/2-inch dice

2 tablespoons chopped scallions

1/2 tablespoon table grind pepper
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup crushed panko breadcrumbs

4 cups mayonnaise
1/2 cup Thai curry paste
1/4 tablespoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Juice of 1 1/2 limes

Asian Slaw:

3 1/2 ounces rice wine vinegar
3 ounces ponzu sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 tablespoon salt

Directions

Watch how to make this recipe.

Combine the diced salmon with the ginger, scallions, salt, pepper and egg in a mixing bowl and mix well. Form the salmon into 4 equal patties, and coat the tops and bottoms with the crushed breadcrumbs.

Lightly oil a grill or griddle over medium heat. You will want to cook a small portion of the mixture to test for seasoning and then adjust with salt and pepper, as needed. Cook the patties, about 2 minutes per side.

Slather 1 ounce of the Curry Mayo Sauce on the bottom bun, and top with the salmon burger, Asian Slaw and top bun and serve.

Curry Mayo Sauce:

Combine the mayonnaise, curry paste, salt, cayenne and lime juice in a mixing bowl and mix well. Taste for acid and seasoning, and adjust with more salt and lime juice, if needed.

Asian Slaw:

It is best to make the slaw ahead of time and let sit for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to really blend together.

Combine the rice wine vinegar, ponzu, sugar, salt, pepper, lime juice, cucumbers, peppers and cabbages in a large mixing bowl and mix well. Taste for acid and seasoning and adjust with lime and salt, if needed.

Cook's Note

Ponzu sauce is a Japanese citrus-based sauce. It can be found in the ethnic ingredients aisle at your local supermarket, in Japanese specialty stores or online.
