Instructions
Place the salmon in the work bowl of a food processor with the scallions and ginger. Pulse until the mixture is rough chopped and no large pieces remain.
Place the salmon mix and about 3⁄4 cup of Lemon Ginger Aioli in a mixing bowl. Lightly mix together until the salmon holds together and the mix does not look dry. You may need to add a bit more aioli.
Lightly form the patties and chill before cooking.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high. Brush the heated grill several times with toasted sesame oil.
Place the salmon burgers on the preheated grill and DO NOT TOUCH or they will fall apart. After 3-5 minutes, gently turn the burger over and grill on the other side for 3 minutes. Transfer to a baking sheet and grill the bun.
Assemble the burger by schmearing the bun with aioli, top with roasted shiitake mushrooms, and pickled carrots and daikon and fresh cilantro sprigs. Eat!
