Fresh and fast, these salmon patties take less than 20 minutes to make it from the fridge to the table. Heirloom tomatoes of different colors will brighten the relish and elevate the entire dish. Using damp hands to form the patties will help the salmon mixture to hold together and not stick to your hands. The lemon juice and zest are a great way to brighten all of the flavors of the relish and patties without increasing the salt. If you cannot find a shallot you can substitute red onion. To create the milder shallot flavor, soak your red onion after it is cut in warm water for 10 minutes. Put this recipe in heavy rotation in place of traditional burger night.
