This is a quick easy recipe that has minimal prep and cooking time. There are a lot of options you can add to the recipe. Be creative.

Ingredients:
1 sockeye fillet (flossed or store bought) 
1/4 large onion
2 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons mayo
Fresh lemon juice
Salt and Pepper to taste

2 slices of bacon (optional)
1/2 cup Feta cheese (optional)
2 Tablespoons fresh dill (optional)
2 tablespoons fresh finely diced ginger (optional)
2 tablespoons finely diced sundried tomatoes (optional)
1 egg (optional, to keep the burger together better)

Finely chop the onions and garlic and lightly saute them in a small frying pan. If you are adding bacon and ginger, they can be sauted with the onions and garlic. It's neccessary to pre-cook these as they would not cook if you added them raw to the burger.  Salt and pepper to taste.

Remove skin and pin bones from the sockeye fillet. Dice the salmon into approximately 1/2 inch cubes (can be done smaller or larger). Combine the sauteed ingredients with the salmon and add the Mayo. Add some fresh dill, sundried tomatoes and/or feta cheese if desired. Salt and pepper to taste. You can add an egg at this time as it helps hold the burger together if you plan on turning it on the grill. I don't use the egg as I do not turn the burger while cooking it. Mix well.

Make the burger patties and place them on a sheet of tin foil. Squeeze a bit of lemon juice on each burger. Use a flat pan under the tin foil so you can carry it to and from the barbecue. Place the sheet of burgers on the barbecue which is pre-heated to 400-450 degrees. Close the lid. An average sized burger will take 8-10 minutes to cook. Do not open and close the barbecue lid for at least 7-8 minutes.You can tell when the burger is done as the juices flowing out of the burger will start to turn white. Do not overcook!

Take the sheet of burgers off the grill. When taking them off the tin foil flip them over so the browned bottom of the burger is facing up on the bun.  You can garnish the burger with whatever you want.

Enjoy!

1 sockeye fillet (flossed or store bought)

I like to use a spoon to scrape out the left over salmon on the bones after filleting to use for brugers.  Cuts down on waste.
