Salmon Burgers With Tarragon Mayonnaise

I changed so many parts of this recipe that it only vaguely resembles the original (Bon Appetit, March 1996). I did use tinned salmon as it was on hand.

You Will Need:

1 tin red salmon
4 green onions, chopped
1 tablespoon drained capers
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon fresh tarragon (or 1 teaspoon dried) 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon prepared white horseradish
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper

Tarragon Mayonnaise:
(1 cup prepared mayonnaise
¼ cup plain yoghurt
4 chopped green onions
1 tablespoon drained capers
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon fresh tarragon (or 1 teaspoon dried)
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons white horseradish
Combine and mix well.)

8 slices toasted bread
4 large tomato slices
1 tablespoon butter

Combine the first nine ingredients. Add the mayonnaise and refrigerate if making ahead.

Add bread crumbs and form into 4 patties. Heat the butter in a frying pan over medium heat and cook about 3 minutes on each side. Serve on toast with a generous slather of tarragon mayonnaise.
