PICKLED CUCUMBER WITH GINGER RECIPE

Steps:

• Wash the cucumber and dry it. Score down the cucumber skin with a fork, you'll need to do this fairly hard so you can see the pattern appear in the surface. Then slice the cucumber in thin slices.
• Pop the slices of cucumber into big bowl and sprinkle with salt, mix well so all of the slices are covered. Leave to soak for 10 to 15 minutes so they absorb the salt.
• Rinse the slices really well in cool water, then drain and pop them back into a clean big bowl.
• Peel and grate the root ginger, I use a garlic rub plate as I prefer the ginger to be a bit more of a pulp than finely grated. Drain about three pieces of stem ginger from the syrup and finely chop, add as much or as little as you like. (I usually do this whilst the cucumber slices are soaking in the salt)
• Add the sugar and the ginger mix to a small bowl, then pour on the white wine vinegar and mix well. Pour the sugar, ginger and vinegar mixture over the cucumber, it might look like there isn't much pickling liquid but there will be plenty.
• Bottle in sterilised jars, label and chill for at least an hour before serving

SALMON BURGERS WITH GINGER AND QUICK-PICKLED CUCUMBERS

Steps:

• Process one third of salmon (about 8 oz.) in a food processor, scraping down sides as needed, until very smooth and paste-like. Add remaining salmon and pulse until pieces are no bigger than ¼," 4-5 times (be careful not to make it too smooth). Transfer to a large bowl.
• Remove dark green tops from scallions and finely chop. Thinly slice white and pale green parts and set aside. Add chopped scallion greens, ginger, garlic, 2 Tbsp. mayonnaise, and 1 tsp. salt to salmon and gently mix to combine. Form mixture into 4 patties about ¾" thick. Transfer to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap. Chill at least 1 hour or up to 3 hours.
• Meanwhile, mix sesame oil, 1 tsp. vinegar, remaining ⅔ cup mayonnaise, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl; set aside.
• Toss cucumbers with a pinch of salt in another small bowl. Massage with your hands for a few minutes to soften and expel liquid; discard liquid. Add chile, sugar, and 2 tsp. vinegar and toss to coat. Cover and chill pickles until ready to assemble burgers.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Remove salmon patties from refrigerator and sprinkle with flour just to coat the outside (you won't need all of it). The patties will be a little loose but you can always pat them back together with your hands before they hit the pan. Working in batches and adding more oil in between batches if needed, cook patties until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side (watch carefully; you don't want to overcook).
• Toss herbs, watercress, sesame seeds (if using), reserved white and pale green parts of scallions, remaining 1 tsp. vinegar, and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl. Build burgers with buns, patties, herb mixture, pickles, and reserved sauce.
