Salmon burger

We came up with this burger on a busy weeknight when friends came over for dinner. They wanted the recipe so we are sharing it with everyone. This salmon burger is great on a beautiful summer afternoon along with an ice-cold drink. You can cook the salmon fillets on the barbecue; the tangy caper dressing contrasts beautifully with the rich salmon flesh.

Ingredients

4	Boneless salmon fillets, skin removed (Main)
½	Lemons
4	Burger buns, wholegrain
⅔ cup	Mayonnaise
1 Tbsp	Capers
½	Lemons, zested
1 Tbsp	Chopped parsley
1 Tbsp	Chopped mint
4	Cornichons, chopped
4 servings	Baby cos lettuce

Directions

1. Bring the salmon to room temperature 10 minutes before cooking.
2. Warm a large pan with oil to a medium-high heat. Season the fish with salt and pepper. Place the salmon in the pan and cook for about 4 minutes until golden brown.
3. Turn the fish over and cook for about 3 minutes more. Remove from the pan and squeeze over some fresh lemon.
4. Mix together the mayonnaise, capers, lemon zest, parsley, mint and cornichons. Season to taste and set aside.
5. Cut the buns in half and put in some of the cos lettuce, followed by the salmon fillets and a generous dollop of the sauce. Serve.
