1. Using a knife or food processor, chop salmon until minced. Scrape salmon into a bowl and mix with egg, fish sauce, hot sauce, garlic, ginger, lemon zest, cilantro, mint, green onion, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
2. Add breadcrumbs and fold mixture together. Lightly oil hands to keep mixture from being sticky and make 4 patties about 4 oz each. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.
3. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil until barely smoking. Add salmon burgers to skillet and cook over moderately high heat until browned, about 4 minutes on each side. rnDress burger as desired and serve with a generous dollop of avocado aioli. Patties can be made ahead and frozen for up to 6 months.
4. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, coarsley mash avocados with a fork. Fold in yogurt, cilantro, garlic, lime juice, chile and shallot. Season with salt and pepper and serve alongside burger. Leftovers can be kept in the fridge for up to 4-5 days. Use extra aioli for a tasty sandwich spread or dip!
