Burgers

1-1/4 pounds boneless, skinless salmon fillet
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
1/4 cup minced purple onion
1-1/2 teaspoons raspberry mustard
1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon or 1 teaspoon dried leaves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

To prepare burgers: With a chef's knife, cut salmon into strips; dice strips crosswise. Chop until texture of raw hamburger. (Do not use food processor.) Place in bowl; add remaining ingredients. With hands, gently mix. Shape into 6 equal size burgers; chill 30 minutes. Coat a heavy non-stick skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium-high heat. Add burgers and cook 3 minutes, turn and top with slice of cheese and cook 3 more minutes. Spread cut sides of muffins with dressing, top with a burger, radicchio or red leaf lettuce, about 2 tablespoons Fennel Slaw and muffin top. Garnish with some of the feathery fennel tops, if desired.
