Ingredients

8 slices good-quality bacon
1 cup regular or vegan mayo
1/4 cup finely chopped chives
2 tablespoons tamari or teriyaki sauce
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
2 teaspoons sriracha or 1/2 tsp. wasabi
Sea salt and black pepper, or seafood seasoning blend
4 6 ounces skinless salmon fillets, cut into chunks
1 piece (1 inch) fresh ginger, grated
2 cloves garlic, grated or pasted
2 scallions, chopped
A few shiso leaves or a small handful cilantro leaves
A handful cracker crumbs or superfine breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 brioche rolls, split
Lettuce, tomato and red onion, for topping

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees . Bake the bacon on a broiler pan or rack-lined rimmed baking sheet until crisp, 18 to 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix the mayo, chives, tamari, ketchup, relish, sriracha, sea salt and black pepper (or seafood seasoning blend).

Using a food processor, pulse the salmon until finely-chopped; transfer to a bowl. Add 1/4 cup of the special sauce, the ginger, garlic, scallions, shiso and cracker crumbs; season with sea salt and black pepper (or seafood seasoning blend). Form into four 1-inch-thick patties.

In a large skillet or griddle pan, heat the oil. Add the patties and cook, turning once, for 10 minutes for medium-rare.

Place the burgers on the roll bottoms and top with the bacon, lettuce, tomato and onion. Spread the roll tops with the remaining special sauce and place on the burgers.
