Soy-Glazed Salmon Burger

Soy-Glazed Salmon Burger Recipe

If you want fish, yet are craving a burger too, try this hearty salmon burger from Kristine Snyder of Kihei, Hawaii. It was the 2001 Grand Prize winner in Sutter Home's Build a Better Burger Contest. If you don’t have rice vinegar, try lemon or lime juice instead.

Ingredients
Ginger-Lime Aioli:
1/2 cup light mayonnaise
2 tablespoons light 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 unseasoned rice vinegar
3 teaspoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon water or white wine

Patties:
1 egg
2 tablespoons light sour cream
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon Asian hot chile sauce or 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 fresh bread crumbs
1/2 teaspoon salt
Fresh mint leaves
4 sesame buns, split and toasted
1/2 cucumber, peeled, seeded and julienned
Instructions
1. Combine aioli ingredients; mix well. Reserve 2 tablespoons for patties; cover and refrigerate remainder until serving.
2. To make glaze, combine soy sauce, honey and rice vinegar in a small, heavy fireproof saucepan. Mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl until smooth and add to soy mixture. Place on grill rack and stir mixture until it boils and thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Set aside.
3. Combine 2 tablespoons of reserved aioli with egg, sour cream, lime juice and chile sauce; whisk to blend well. Add salmon, onion, mint, bread crumbs and salt. Handling salmon as little as possible to avoid compacting it, mix well; form 4 patties.
4. Brush grill rack with vegetable oil. Place patties on rack; cook about 3 minutes on each side, basting with soy glaze
5. Top each bun bottom with cucumber strips, mint leaves, burger and aioli. Add bun tops and serve. Serves 4.
