did not do the spinach salad

Skip the beef and serve a Mexican-inspired salmon burger topped with a
fresh lime-cilantro mayonnaise sauce. Cook the salmon patties in a
skillet to enjoy this hearty burger year-round. A spinach salad with a
sweet, slightly spicy Asian-influenced dressing makes a tasty
accompaniment.


1/4 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 (1-pound) salmon fillet, skinned and cut into 1-inch pieces
1/4 cup dry breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons cilantro leaves
2 tablespoons chopped green onions
1 tablespoon chopped seeded jalape±o pepper
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Cooking spray
4 (1 1/2-ounce) hamburger buns with sesame seeds, toasted
12 (1/4-inch-thick) slices English cucumber
4 leaf lettuce leaves

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

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.
