- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 3 tsp. Dijon mustard

To Serve

Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the salmon, green onions, parsley, eggs, mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt. Season the mixture with black pepper, to taste, and mix to combine.
- Mix in the breadcrumbs and let the mixture rest until the breadcrumbs soak up some of the moisture, about 5 minutes.
- Form the salmon into 6 patties and transfer to a hot oiled grill and cook for about 3 minutes on each side on medium-high heat. Do not overcook! In the last 2 minutes of cooking, add the baguette slices to the grill and cook until toasted on both sides.
- To serve, generously spread one side of baguette slice with the basil mayo and then top with lettuce, tomato, avocado, and salmon patty. You can top the burger with little more mayo and lettuce if you like.
Basil Mayonnaise
