SALMON BURGERS 
Burgers:

2 salmon fillets, skinned and chopped (about 1 1/2 lb.)
2 tbsp. chopped red onion
1 egg
2 tsp. grated lemon rind
2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 tbsp. olive oil

Sauce:

2 oz. cream cheese
1/4 c. heavy cream
1/4 c. chopped fresh dill
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper

For Burgers: Combine salmon, red onion, egg, rind, juice and pepper. Form into six 4-inch patties. Chill at least 2 hours.

For Sauce: In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt cream cheese with heavy cream. Cool a few minutes. Stir in dill, salt and pepper; set aside.

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook patties 3 minutes per side or until cooked through. Serve topped with sauce.

In a pinch, you may substitute three 6-ounce cans of canned salmon for the fresh.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
