Ginger and salmon are a natural pair, and in this easy, ready-in-30 minute recipe, the feisty kick of ginger enlivens this favorite, richly flavored fish, bringing out its great, buttery taste and mellowing any lingering fishiness.To get the most ginger flavor in the burgers, shape the patties, place them on a wax paper-lined plate and cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours or up to 6 hours before cooking so the flavor has time to develop. The salmon patties are great as burgers, but are also wonderful as a topping to a light pasta dish that's been tossed in an olive oil and lemon blend and topped with fresh scallions and other herbs such as dill and basil. Leftover patties can be served room temperature on a green salad as a wonderful makeshift lunch.
