Salmon Burgers

I love these burgers because by the end of the summer I often end up suffering from burger burnout.  From Memorial Day to Labor Day, I usually end up consuming a burger a week, at least, off the grill.  And while I love summer and grilling food, it is good to mix it up every now and again.  Similar crab cakes, these burgers are full of salmon with a little Asian-flare.  They make for a satisfying, change of pace, grilled meal, even for the most die-hard carnivores.
