03 Method

Step 1

Make the red pepper mayo: Blend mayonnaise, bell peppers, capers, lemon juice, and salt in a blender, scraping down sides if needed, until smooth. Transfer to a small bowl.
Step 2

Cook and assemble the burgers: Mix breadcrumbs, pepper, and 1/2 cup red pepper mayo in a large bowl. Gently fold in flaked salmon. Divide mixture into 4 patties about 1/2" thick and 4" wide.
Step 3

Cook and assemble the burgers: Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Working in batches, cook buns, cut side down, until golden brown and toasted, about 2 minutes. Divide among plates.
Step 4

Cook and assemble the burgers: Heat remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in the same skillet. Cook salmon patties until golden brown and heated through, 2–3 minutes per side. Transfer burgers to bun bottoms. Spread about 2 tsp. red pepper mayo over burgers. Arrange bell pepper strips over, then top with a bun to close.
Step 5

Do Ahead: Red pepper mayo can be made 5 days ahead. Store in a resealable container and chill. Burger patties can be formed 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
