Instructions
  1. Chop salmon into approximately 1/4-inch pieces or smaller.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the salmon, onions, tablespoons parsley, ginger, egg, 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs, salt and pepper.
  3. Divide the mixture evenly into four parts and form into patties, each about 1 inch thick.
  4. Chill patties for at least 20 minutes in the fridge before cooking. This will help them to settle and not fall apart while cooking.
  5. While you are waiting for the salmon patties to chill, make the dressing. Combine all ingredients in a food processor and pulse until creamy. Taste, and adjust seasonings if necessary.
  6. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  7. Remove patties from the refrigerator and lightly coat them with the remaining 2 tablespoons of breadcrumbs, pushing them firmly into place while keeping their patty shape. You don’t want them to be sticky or falling apart when you start handling them to cook them. If they feel that way, just add some extra breadcrumbs to the coating.
  8. Add the patties to the pan and cook until browned on the outside, and cooked well all the way through. This will take about 5 minutes on each side, depending on the size of your patties.
  9. Serve on a bed of escarole with sliced radishes drizzled with dressing, or on whole wheat hamburger buns spread with dressing, and topped with a handful of escarole and radishes.
