Salmon Burgers With Avocado Aioli

• Salmon Burgers
• 1 pound boneless, skinless salmon fillet
• 2 tablespoons chives, minced
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
• 3 handfuls mixed greens
• 3 burger buns, toasted

• Avocado Aioli
• 1 very ripe avocado
• 1 serrano pepper, de-seeded and chopped
• 1/4 scant cup mayonnaise
• 2 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
• 1/2 lime, juiced

1. Cut the salmon into pieces and freeze for about 20 minutes. Pass the chilled salmon through the coarse setting of a meat grinder.
2. Season the ground salmon with salt, pepper, and chives, then mix to combine. Form the salmon into 3 equal-sized patties and lightly brush them with canola oil.
3. Preheat a grill or grill pan to high. Grill the salmon for 3 to 4 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes.
4. To assemble the burgers, spread some of the avocado aioli on the bottom bun, then top with a patty, a few slices of red onion, a handful of greens, and the top bun.
5. Scoop the flesh of the avocado and add it, along with all remaining ingredients ,into a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.
6. Check for seasoning. Note: You can keep the seeds in the serrano if you want it to be spicier.
