Chop salmon with a knife to make it tartare-like. In a bowl, mix salmon flesh with leek, egg yolk, salt, pepper, and Tabasco sauce. Make 4 round patties.
In a pan, heat oil at medium heat. Brown patties on each side for 5 to 6 minutes. Set aside in the oven to keep warm.
Broil bread, then garnish with 1 salmon patty.
Chef’s note
To vary toppings for more fun! Caper, roasted onions, wasabi mayonnaise, minced with cream iceberg lettuce, cucumber, sour cream, tomato and olive salsa, etc. For crispier patties, coat them with flour or breadcrumbs before cooking.
