Basix Cafe Salmon Burgers

1 1/2 pounds boned and skinned salmon, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 tablespoon drained capers, chopped
2/3 cup panko (Japanese) bread crumbs
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon butter, more as needed
4 brioche buns, toasted (hamburger buns)
tartar sauce
Prepared coleslaw

In the bowl of a food processor, pulse the salmon cubes several
times until coarsely ground (there will still be flakes of salmon).
Remove the ground salmon to a large bowl, and stir in the capers,
bread crumbs, lemon juice, pepper, salt and egg until the mixture
is uniform and fully combined. Divide the mixture into 4 patties.

In a large sauté pan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add
the burgers (do not crowd, they can be cooked in batches) and
sauté, adjusting the heat as needed, until the burgers are golden
on the outside and cooked throughout, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes per side.

Prepare the burgers: Brush the insides of each toasted bun with
tartar sauce, and spoon a little coleslaw on the base of the bun.
Place a burger on the slaw, then the bun top. Serve immediately.
