Fresh Salmon-Cilantro Burgers

Ingredients:

• 1/4 C reduced-fat mayonnaise
• 1 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 Tbsp fresh lime juice
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 1 (1 lb) salmon fillet, skinned and cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1/4 C dry breadcrumbs
• 2 Tbsp cilantro leaves
• 2 Tbsp chopped green onions
• 1 Tbsp chopped seeded jalapeño pepper
• 2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• Cooking spray
• 4 (1 1/2 oz) hamburger buns with sesame seeds, toasted
• 12 (1/4-inch-thick) slices English cucumber
• 4 leaf lettuce leaves

Directions:

• Combine first 5 ingredients in a small bowl; cover and chill.

• Place salmon in a food processor; pulse until coarsely chopped. Add breadcrumbs and next 6 ingredients (through 1/4 teaspoon black pepper); pulse 4 times or until well blended. Divide salmon mixture into 4 equal portions, shaping each into a 3/4-inch-thick patty.

• Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add patties to pan; cook 2 minutes. Carefully turn patties over; cook 2 minutes or until done.

• Spread about 1 tablespoon mayonnaise mixture over bottom half of each hamburger bun. Top each serving with 1 salmon patty, 3 cucumber slices, 1 lettuce leaf, and top half of bun.

• Spinach salad: Combine 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 2 teaspoons canola oil, 2 teaspoons water, and 1/4 teaspoon chile paste in a large bowl; stir well with a whisk. Add half of 1 (5-ounce) package baby spinach, 1/2 cup yellow bell pepper strips, and 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion to bowl; toss to coat.
