Preparation Method
To Mix Mayonnaise:
- Combine mayonnaise, lemon juice and pesto in a small bowl.
- Mix thoroughly. Cover and place in a Sub-Zero refrigerator.
To Make Burgers:
- In a small bowl whisk together egg, 1/2 cup pesto, salt, pepper, 1 tablespoon lemon juice and bread crumbs.
- In a large bowl using hands or spatula, mix ground salmon with bread crumb mixture. Allow to stand for five minutes.
- Portion the remaining mixture into 6 to 8 equal sized balls and flatten them to 3 1/2 to 4 inches in diameter. Place on broiler pan with grill, leaving at least 1/2 inch between each burger.
- Position oven racks to rack positions 6 and 4. Place broiler pan on rack position 6. Touch or turn Wolf electric oven in BROIL 1. Broil 5 minutes.
- Turn burgers over and broil on second side for 4 minutes. Remove pan from oven and place on heat proof surface.
- Place buns on baking sheet, cut side up, on rack position 4. Broil 2 minutes. Remove buns from oven.
- Place one burger on each bun.
- Place one or two slices tomato on each burger with one tablespoon or more of the mayonnaise. Top each with toasted bun.
To Make Ground Salmon:
- Use 2 pounds trimmed salmon, or 2 1/2 lbs. if not trimmed.
- Grind using a meat grinder (coarse grind) or pulse in a food processor with cutting blade.
If making burgers ahead, refrigerate in Sub-zero refrigerator and increase broiling time by 1 minute per side. This recipe will work equally well in a gas oven.
