3-inch piece of fresh ginger, minced or grated
3 tablespoons tamari (dark aged soy sauce, found on the international aisle)
2 scallions, white and green parts, chopped
1/2 small red bell pepper, cored, seeded, and finely chopped
2 teaspoons sesame oil (eyeball it)
2 teaspoons grill seasoning, such as McCormicks Montreal Steak Seasoning, or 1 teaspoon coarse black pepper and 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt (eyeball it)

1
Preheat the oven according to the package directions for the fries.

Spread the French fries out on a cookie sheet and cook according to the package directions.

Three minutes before the fries are finished cooking, remove them from the oven, sprinkle with the sesame seeds, toss with a spatula to coat, and return to the oven to finish cooking and to toast the sesame seeds.

Cube the salmon into bite-size pieces and place in a food processor.

10
While the salmon burgers are cooking, prepare the ginger-wasabi mayo.

In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, wasabi paste, lime juice, and the remaining ginger.

Spread the ginger-wasabi mayonnaise on the buns.

Top with a salmon burger and red leaf lettuce and set the bun tops in place.
