Salmon burgers

Salmon Burgers
This was inspired by an episode I saw on the Paula Dean show. She uses a japanese breadcrumb instead of the traditional dry breadcrumbs, and it makes a big difference.

Burgers:
1-2lbs of salmon fillet-silver skin removed
1/2-3/4 cup of "Panko" (Japanese bread crumbs from the asian food aisle)
1 egg beaten
1/2 onion chopped fine
1/2 red bell pepper chopped fine
salt
pepper
1 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp dill
1 tsp mayonaisse

Instructions
1. Remove skin from Salmon, and chop remaining fish into the smallest possible chunks
2. Dice the pepper and onion finely
3. Add Salmon, onion, pepper, beaten egg, salt, soy, dill, breadcrumbs and mayo
4. Mix with hands or spatula, adding additional bread crumbs as needed
5. form into pattyies and place in heated frying pan with olive oil
6. Cook aprox 4 minutes on each side at a medium heat or until they are flaky and light pink. You could also do a quick flash fry and then bake for a more tender salmon burger.
7. Toast buns and add sauce below for additional flavor


Sauce:
1/4 cup mayonaisse
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp dill
hamburger buns
Mix all sauce ingredients and spread on cooked burgers as desired
