• 20ml de vinaigre de riz non assaisonné, divisé

• 3 medium Persian cucumbers, shaved lengthwise

• 1/2 serrano chilli, very thinly sliced

• 1 cuillère à café de sucre

• 60ml (or more) vegetable oil

How to make Salmon Burgers With Ginger and Quick-Pickled Cucumbers

Process one third of salmon (about 230g ) in a food processor, scraping down sides as needed, until very smooth and paste-like. Add remaining salmon and pulse until pieces are no bigger than 1/4," 4–5 times (be careful not to make it too smooth). Transfer to a large bowl.

Remove dark green tops from spring onions and finely chop. Thinly slice white and pale green parts and set aside. Add chopped spring onion greens, ginger, garlic, 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, and 1 teaspoon salt to salmon and gently mix to combine. Form mixture into 4 patties about 3/4" thick. Transfer to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap. Chill at least 1 hour or up to 3 hours.

Meanwhile, mix sesame oil, 1 teaspoon vinegar, remaining 160ml mayonnaise, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl; set aside.

Toss cucumbers with a pinch of salt in another small bowl. Massage with your hands for a few minutes to soften and expel liquid; discard liquid. Add chilli, sugar, and 2 teaspoons vinegar and toss to coat. Cover and chill pickles until ready to assemble burgers.

Heat vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Remove salmon patties from refrigerator and sprinkle with flour just to coat the outside (you won’t need all of it). The patties will be a little loose but you can always pat them back together with your hands before they hit the pan. Working in batches and adding more oil in between batches if needed, cook patties until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side (watch carefully; you don’t want to overcook).

Toss herbs, watercress, sesame seeds (if using), reserved white and pale green parts of spring onions, remaining 1 teaspoon vinegar, and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl. Build burgers with buns, patties, herb mixture, pickles, and reserved sauce.
