Preparation

Step 1

Coarsely chop the salmon with a knife. Place in a food processor and pulse the machine on and off to achieve a coarse texture. Do not overprocess.

Lightly combine the salmon with the remaining ingredients except the buns and garnish. Form into 6 patties (about 3 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick).

Preheat coals for grilling. Brush the grill with vegetable oil.

Grill the burgers over hot coals for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until just cooked through. (Turn carefully.) Serve the burgers immediately on buns topped with 1 tablespoon of either Fresh Pineapple Relish or Golden Pineapple Relish.
