3 Tbsp. fresh cilantro

1 lb. uncooked salmon fillets, cut into large cubes

1/3 c. panko

1 Tbsp. coconut aminos

For the Teriyaki Glaze:

3 Tbsp. brown rice vinegar

3 Tbsp. honey

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 Tbsp. grated fresh ginger

1 to 2 tsp. sriracha

1 tsp. cornstarch + 2 tsp. water

For the Cucumber Salad:

2 Tbsp. brown rice vinegar

1 Tbsp. coconut aminos

2 tsp. toasted sesame oil

1 tsp. honey

1 tsp. toasted sesame seeds

Pinch crushed red pepper

1/4 c. chopped cilantro

Lettuce

For the salmon burgers, add the garlic cloves, ginger and cilantro to a food processor and pulse until minced. Add the salmon, panko and coconut aminos. Pulse until salmon is chopped and everything is evenly incorporated. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape into patties. Set aside or cover and place in fridge if making ahead.
To make the teriyaki glaze, whisk together the coconut aminos through sriracha in small saucepan. Whisk together the cornstarch and water and add to the mixture. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium high heat until it coats the back of a spoon, about 5 to 7 minutes. Set aside.
To prepare the Cucumber Salad, add the brown rice vinegar through the crushed red pepper to a medium bowl and whisk. Add the cucumber slices and cilantro and toss to coat. Set aside.
Heat a large non-stick or cast iron pan over medium high heat. Add 1 tsp. canola oil to pan and swirl to coat. Add the salmon patties to pan and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Spoon and brush about 1 tablespoon of the sauce over each patty and cook for another minute.
Add lettuce to the bottom of a bun, top with a salmon burger and cucumber salad. Add top half of bun and serve with extra teriyaki sauce.
