Steps:
- For the patties: Mix together the egg, mayonnaise, mustard, seafood seasoning, lemon juice and hot sauce in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Fold in the salmon, scallions and panko until the mixture is combined again. Form into 4 patties, then set aside.
- Place a large skillet over a medium-high heat and add the oil. When the oil is hot, add the patties and cook until golden and crisp, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel.
- For the caper mayo: Mix together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, capers, hot sauce, salt and pepper.
- To assemble: Spread some of the caper mayo on the bottom of a toasted bun. Top with a salmon patty, lettuce, tomato and pickle. Spread the other half of the bun with a bit more of the mayo and place on top. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Serve.
SALMON BURGERS
For this recipe, you'll want to grind part of the salmon in a food processor: It'll bind the rest, which can be coarsely chopped to retain moisture during cooking. Some bread crumbs keep the burger from becoming as densely packed as (bad) meatloaf. This approach, along with a few simple seasonings, produces delicious burgers in not much more time than it takes to make one from ground chuck. The only real trick is to avoid overcooking. Whether you sauté, broil or grill this burger, it's best when the center remains the color of ... salmon. Two or three minutes a side usually does the trick.

Steps:
- Cut the salmon into large chunks, and put about a quarter of it into the container of a food processor, along with the mustard. Turn the machine on, and let it run - stopping to scrape down the sides if necessary - until the mixture becomes pasty.
- Add the shallots and the remaining salmon, and pulse the machine on and off until the fish is chopped and well combined with the puree. No piece should be larger than a 1/4 inch or so; be careful not make the mixture too fine.
- Scrape the mixture into a bowl, and by hand, stir in the bread crumbs, capers and some salt and pepper. Shape into four burgers. (You can cover and refrigerate the burgers for a few hours at this point.)
- Place the butter or oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet, and turn the heat to medium-high. When the butter foam subsides or the oil is hot, cook the burgers for 2 to 3 minutes a side, turning once. Alternatively, you can grill them: Let them firm up on the first side, grilling about 4 minutes, before turning over and finishing for just another minute or two. To check for doneness, make a small cut and peek inside. Be careful not to overcook. Serve on a bed of greens or on buns or by themselves, with lemon wedges and Tabasco or any dressing you like.
SALMON BURGERS
Steps:
- Mince the salmon on a cutting board then place it into a resealable bag. Using the flat end of a meat tenderizer, mash the salmon until it is finely minced. Place the salmon, egg whites, mustard, dill, breadcrumbs, and salt and pepper to taste into a large bowl and mix until well combined. Form into four patties.
- Heat the olive oil in a large (12-inch) grill pan over medium-high heat. When the grill pan is hot, add the salmon patties and cook for five minutes on each side, without moving so they form a crust. Toast the buns on the grill pan, cut sides down.
- To serve, place the cooked salmon burgers on the toasted buns with the Simplest Coleslaw on top of the burger.
- Place the cabbage, mayonnaise, water, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl and mix well.
