Steps:
- Lemon-Caper Aioli:
- Place capers in a small bowl and pour in warm water to cover. Let soak 20 minutes. Drain, rinse, and pat dry. Coarsely chop.
- Whisk capers, mayonnaise, oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, mustard, and garlic in a medium bowl; taste and season with salt and more lemon juice, if desired.
- Assembly:
- Shape lamb into 4 patties about 1" thick, season with salt, and let sit at room temperature 30 minutes.
- Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet, ideally cast iron, over medium. Cook lamb patties, working in batches if needed, until browned (they won't take on as much color as a beef burger), 5-7 minutes. Turn and cook until browned on second side, about 5 minutes for medium-rare. Transfer patties to a plate and let rest 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, toss celery, fennel, fennel fronds (if using), onion, lemon juice, dried mint, and remaining 2 Tbsp. oil in a medium bowl. Season slaw with salt and pepper.
- Generously spread aioli on cut sides of buns and build each burger with a lamb patty, 3 or 4 boquerones, and a mound of slaw. This is a messy burger, so the bib is not optional.
- Do Ahead
- Aioli can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.

Tips:
- Choose the right salmon. Use fresh or frozen salmon fillets that are free of skin and bones. If using frozen salmon, thaw it completely before cooking.
- Make sure the salmon is cooked through. The internal temperature of the salmon should reach 145°F (63°C) before serving.
- Don't overcook the salmon. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough. Cook it just until it is cooked through, about 8-10 minutes per side.
- Use a good quality mayonnaise. The mayonnaise is the base of the lemon caper aioli, so make sure to use a good quality brand that you enjoy the taste of.
- Make the lemon caper aioli ahead of time. The aioli can be made up to 3 days in advance. Just store it in the refrigerator until you're ready to use it.
- Use a variety of vegetables in the kale slaw. The kale slaw is a great way to add some extra vegetables to your meal. Use a variety of vegetables that you enjoy, such as kale, cabbage, carrots, and red onion.
- Dress the kale slaw just before serving. The kale slaw is best served fresh, so dress it just before you're ready to eat it.
