Shallots, cut into a small dice – 2 Tbsp
Mayonnaise – 3 Tbsp
Dijon Mustard – 2 tsp
Bread Crumbs – 1/2 cup

For Stovetop: Heat 3 Tbsp of Olive Oil on medium-high heat in a skillet large enough to hold the cakes. Saute for 2 to 3 minutes on the first side and about 1 to 2 minutes on the other or until crispy brown on the outside and just cooked through.
For Oven: Place cakes on cookie tray and spray with cooking spray. Place in 350 degree oven and bake for 8 minutes per side until firm, cooked through and starting to brown.
For Grill: Spray grill racks with cooking spray or olive oil to prevent burgers from sticking. Start grill on medium high heat. Place salmon burgers on prepared grill and grill for 6-8 minutes per side until firm, cooked through and starting to brown.
