Salmon Wasabi Burgers are perfect if you adore spicy food, and enjoy the pungent, hot taste of wasabi and ginger. When I do need a bun, I use lettuce or other greens as a serving vehicle for my burger recipes, and find that crispy Romaine lettuce works especially well. Boston, or bibb lettuce also works superbly for this purpose but, I usually serve these Salmon Wasabi Burgers with Asian Cole Slaw recipe, the flavor combination is absolutely fabulous, I promise you, you will love it! Oh, forgot to mention, I love smothering my burgers in condiments. These salmon cakes however, need no condiments as the spicy wasabi is already inside them, along with cilantro, scallion, and lime!
