Preparation

For salmon, in large bowl, combine salmon, onion, dill, Dijon, lemon zest and juice, egg white, breadcrumbs, salt and pepper. Form mixture into four 3/4-inch thick patties. Chill for 30 minutes.

For mayonnaise, combine ingredients in small bowl and mix well. Cover and chill.

For sweet potato chips, in medium skillet, heat oil to high heat. Carefully add potato slices in small batches and cook 3 minutes. Remove with slotted spoon and drain on paper towel. Sprinkle with sea salt and set aside.

To cook burgers, melt butter in large skillet over medium heat. Add patties; cook until firm to touch and golden brown, about 4 minutes per side.

To assemble, place lettuce on bottom roll. Top with burger, sweet potato chips and red pepper mayonnaise. Cover with top. Serves 4.
