Ingredients

2 garlic cloves, minced

1/4 cup minced onion (I used red onion)

1/2 jalepeno, deseeded and minced

1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, minced

zest and juice one lime,divided use

1 cup bread crumbs

14 ounces can deboned Wild Salmon

1/4 cup mayonnaise, divided use

fresh cilantro for garnish

Pita Bread or Buns

Preparation

Preheat broiler.

Mix all ingredients, except mayonnaise, reserving 1 teaspoon of lime juice for another use.

Add 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise and test the mixture. Can you form a patty with it? Is it too crumbly? If it is too crumbly, add another tablespoon of mayonnaise.

Form 4-6 patties and place on a cookie sheet. Broil for 5-6 minutes or until browned. Flip and repeat.

While the burgers are broiling, mix remaining 2-3 tablespoons of mayonnaise with the reserved lime juice to use as a topping on the burgers.

Serve each burger with a dollop of lime mayonnaise and some cilantro, inside in a pita or on top of a bun.
