1 pound salmon, skin and fat removed, cut in about 1/2-inch dice
3 tablespoons finely diced ginger
2 tablespoons chopped scallions
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 tablespoon table grind pepper
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup crushed panko breadcrumbs
Vegetable oil, for greasing
Curry Mayo Sauce, for serving, recipe follows
Hamburger buns, buttered and toasted
Asian Slaw, for serving, recipe follows
4 cups mayonnaise
1/2 cup Thai curry paste
1/4 tablespoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Juice of 1 1/2 limes
3 1/2 ounces rice wine vinegar
3 ounces ponzu sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 tablespoon salt
Pinch black pepper
Juice of 3 limes
2 seedless cucumbers, peeled, seeded and julienned
1 red bell pepper, julienned
1/2 head green cabbage, shredded
1/2 head red cabbage, shredded

Steps:

Combine the diced salmon with the ginger, scallions, salt, pepper and egg in a mixing bowl and mix well. Form the salmon into 4 equal patties, and coat the tops and bottoms with the crushed breadcrumbs.
Lightly oil a grill or griddle over medium heat. You will want to cook a small portion of the mixture to test for seasoning and then adjust with salt and pepper, as needed. Cook the patties, about 2 minutes per side.
Slather 1 ounce of the Curry Mayo Sauce on the bottom bun, and top with the salmon burger, Asian Slaw and top bun and serve.
Combine the mayonnaise, curry paste, salt, cayenne and lime juice in a mixing bowl and mix well. Taste for acid and seasoning, and adjust with more salt and lime juice, if needed.
It is best to make the slaw ahead of time and let sit for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to really blend together.
Combine the rice wine vinegar, ponzu, sugar, salt, pepper, lime juice, cucumbers, peppers and cabbages in a large mixing bowl and mix well. Taste for acid and seasoning and adjust with lime and salt, if needed.
