Burgers:
1 pound salmon fillets, skinned and cut into 2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons red onion, minced (1/4 small onion)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about 1 large lemon)
2 teaspoons lemon zest, grated (1 large lemon)
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Sauce:
4 ounces cream cheese
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
vegetable oil spray for grill
1. Preheat grill to high.
2. Place salmon in a food processor and pulse until wellchopped,
about 30 seconds. In a medium bowl, mix
salmon with onion, juice, zest, egg, salt and pepper until
just-combined (do not over-mix). Form into six patties
and chill in the freezer while preparing the sauce.
3. For sauce: In a small saucepan on medium-high heat,
melt cream cheese with heavy cream, about 3 minutes.
Turn off heat and stir in dill, salt and pepper. Set aside.
4. Spray grill oil spray and cook patties covered until just
cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Serve topped
with sauce.
Top these burgers with slices of cool cucumber for a perfect
balance of temperatures and textures. In a pinch, you may
substitute three 6-ounce cans of canned salmon for fresh fish.
