    Chipotle Salmon Burger with Cilantro Lime Sauce

    Smoky, spicy chipotle adds just the right amount of kick to these hearty salmon burgers, and the cilantro lime sauce is so cooling and flavorful - it adds the perfect touch.  While this recipe calls for fresh salmon, shredded - drained canned salmon will work just fine.

    Ingredients
     

    for the burgers:

    • 2 pounds salmon filets - skin removed and finely chopped or shredded
    • 1 medium red onion - grated
    • 2 cloves garlic - pressed
    • 1 chipotle chile - finely minced
    • 1 ½ tablespoon adobo sauce - (from chipotle can)
    • 2 tablespoon cilantro - fresh chopped
    • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
    • 2 large eggs - beaten
    • 1 cup panko bread crumbs
    • salt and pepper - to taste
    • olive oil - for cooking

    for the sauce:

    • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
    • ⅓ cup sour cream
    • 2 tablespoon cilantro - fresh chopped
    • 1 lime - juice
    • ½ teaspoon salt

    Instructions

    to make the burgers:

    • Put the salmon, onion, garlic, chipotle pepper and sauce, cilantro and lemon juice in a large bowl and mix well with a fork.
    • Add the beaten egg, salt, and pepper and stir to incorporate, then stir in the bread crumbs and mix well.
    • With your hands a bit moistened, form into 4 or 6 equal sized patties, put them on a plate and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
    • Heat a heavy bottomed skillet over medium heat, cover the bottom with a thin layer of olive, and when the oil is hot add the patties and cook for about 5 minutes per side - until crispy.  (you can cook 2 or 3 at a time, and keep the cooked ones warm in the oven until all are done)

    to make the sauce:

    • Whisk together the mayo, sour cream, cilantro, lime juice and salt until well combined.
    • Toast some good buns in the oven or on a griddle, top with lettuce, tomato and avocado, then the salmon burger and drizzle well with the sour cream sauce.
