Instructions

With a Japanese rotary slicer (see note this page) cut cucumber into 1 long
spiral. (Alternatively, with a sharp knife cut cucumber into very thin
slices.) In a bowl toss cucumber with vinegar, sugar, red pepper flakes,
and
salt to taste.

In another bowl whisk together egg white, soy sauce, and gingerroot until
combined well and stir in salmon, bread crumbs, scallions, mustard seeds,
and
salt to taste. In a food processor puree 1/3 cup salmon mixture and return
to
salmon mixture remaining in bowl. (Alternatively, chop 1/3 cup salmon
mixture
fine and mash to a paste with flat side of a knife.) Stir mixture to
combine
and form into four 3/4-inch-thick patties. Drain cucumber well.

In a large non-stick skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot
but
not smoking and cook patties until golden, about 2 minutes on each side.
Cook
patties, covered, over moderate heat until just cooked through, about 5
minutes more. Arrange lettuce leaves on 4 pumpernickel slices and top with
salmon burgers, pickled cucumber, and remaining 4 pumpernickel slices.

Makes 4 sandwiches.
