Ingredients

• for the burger: 3 tins Fishwife Smoked Salmon, 1/3 cup breadcrumbs, 1 egg, 2 cloves garlic (grated), 1 tbsp dill (finely chopped), 1 tsp mustard, zest of 1 lemon, salt & pepper Oil, for grilling 2 brioche buns
• for the lemon dill aioli: 1/2 cup mayo, 1 clove garlic (grated), 2 tbsp dill (finely chopped), juice of 1/2 lemon, salt & pepper
• herby cabbage & cuke slaw: 2 cups green cabbage (finely shredded), 2 mini cucumbers (thinly sliced), 2 tbsp chives (finely chopped), 1.5 tbsp parsley (roughly chopped), juice of 1/2 lemon, 2 tbsp rice vinegar, salt & pepper

Directions

In a medium bowl, combine all burger ingredients and mix until combined. Weigh out 3 oz portions, roll into balls, and flatten into discs. Refrigerate while you prep the sauce and slaw.
In a small bowl, mix all aioli ingredients until combined and set aside.
In a large bowl, add all slaw ingredients and toss to combine. Set aside.
Heat a griddle or cast iron pan on your grill over medium-high heat. Spray griddle or pan with oil, add your burgers with a small piece of parchment paper on top, and smash down into a thin patty (don't smash too hard or the patty will fall apart). Cook until deeply browned, about 4-5 minutes, and then flip, cooking the other side until deeply browned. Add your buns to the griddle or pan to toast while the burgers finish cooking.
To assemble, spread the aioli across the bottom of the bun and top with two patties. Add a generous portion of the slaw and place the other bun on top. Serve with chips, pasta salad, or your fave bbq side dish!
