Baking Directions:

•To make the aioli, combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and mix wel .

Reserve 2 tablespoons for the patties and cover and refrigerate the remainder until serving.

•To make the glaze, combine the soy sauce, honey, and rice vinegar in a small, heavy fire-proof saucepan.

Mix the cornstarch and 1 tablespoon Sauvignon Blanc in a small bowl until smooth and ad to the soy mixture.

Place on the grill rack and stir the mixture until it boils and thickens slightly, about 3 minutes.

Meanwhile, sip the glass of Sauvignon Blanc, saving the remainder for grilling.

Set the glaze aside.

•To make the patties, combine the 2 tablespo ns aioli, the egg, sour cream, lime juice, and chile sauce in a large bowl and whisk to blend well.

Add the salmon, onion, mint, bread crumbs, and salt.

Handling the salmon as little as possible to avoid compacting it, mix well.

Coat your hands with vegetable oil and divide the mixture into 4 equal portions, and form the portions into patties to fit the buns.

•When the gril is ready, brush the grill rack with vegetable oil.

Place the patties on the rack, cover, and cook until browned on the bottom, about 3 minutes.

Recommence sipping the glass of Sauvignon Blanc.

Turn the patties and brush the cooked side with soy glaze.

Cook, turning and brushing frequently with he glaze, just until opaque throughout, 4 to 5 minutes longer.

During the last few minutes of cooking, place the buns, cut side down, on the outer edges of the rack to toast lightly.

•To assemble the burgers, top each bun bottom with an equal portion of the cucumber strips, a patty, and an equal portion of the aiol .
