Preparation

Step 1

Transfer the salmon to a large bowl and add the bread crumbs, anchovy-water mixture, shallot, lemon juice, mustard, and pepper. Handling the salmon as little as possible to avoid compacting it, mix well. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form the portions into patties to fit the buns. Cover and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.

Meanwhile combine the onion and vinegar in a bowl and toss well. Set aside for about 30 minutes, stirring often.
