Salmon Burgers

I found this recipe in the Milwaukee Journal. So far, this is the best recipe we have found for salmon burgers.

1 lb of fresh Salmon cut into pieces (to simplify I used can salmon)
2 shallots, peeled and minced (use onions if shallots are not available)
2 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 Tbl lemon juice
2 Tbl finely chopped fresh dill
pinch of cayenne pepper
salt to taste
3 Tbl of mayonnaise
1 cup of fresh bread crumbs or panko crumbs

In food processor, coarsely chop half of the salmon and set aside. Combine remaining salmon with shallots. Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, dill, cayenne pepper, salt, mayonnaise and panko in food processor and pulse until well combined, Add reserved chopped salmon and pulse just to combine. Form into 4 equal patties.

Preheat barbecue for medium-high heat grilling. Cook burgers 3-4 minutes on each side or until just cooked through center and golden brown. Or heat some olive oil in a large pan and saute burgers in oil for 3-4 minutes per side or until cooked through.
