03 Method

Step 1

With a large chef's knife, chop salmon using quick, even, straight-up-and-down motions (do not rock the knife or the fish will turn mushy) until you have a mass of roughly ¼-inch pieces. Transfer to a large bowl; gently stir in onion (or scallion), cilantro, ginger, ¼ teaspoon salt and ⅛ teaspoon pepper (do not overmix). Divide the mixture into 4 patties, about 1 inch thick. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes (or up to 2 hours).
Step 2

Mix mayonnaise, sour cream, anchovy, chives, parsley, capers, lemon zest, lemon juice, pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl.
Step 3

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the burgers and cook until browned on both sides and just cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes total. Serve the burgers with the sauce.
Step 4

Make-Ahead Tip: Prepare salmon mixture (Step 1), cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours. Cover and refrigerate the sauce (Step 2) for up to 3 days.
