Directions

Make the slaw: In a large bowl, toss the cabbages, red onion slices, jalapenos and cilantro until well combined. In a medium bowl, whisk lime juice, rice vinegar, fish sauce, sugar, and black sesame seeds. Pour the dressing over the vegetables. Toss to combine and season with salt and pepper. Cover & refrigerate until ready to use. This recipe makes more slaw than you might need save the rest as a side dish to another meal. 

Make the soy mayo: Combine ¼ cup soy sauce and 2 tablespoons brown sugar in a small saucepan set over medium high heat. Cook, swirling the pan often until a syrupy consistence is achieved about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool somewhat. Then stir it into the mayonnaise along with 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil. Cover & refrigerate until ready to use.

Make the sliders: Cut the salmon into 1‑inch pieces and transfer to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse 3–5 times until coarsely ground, taking care not to over-process or salmon will become a paste. Transfer to a mixing bowl and add panko, green onions, minced cilantro, minced ginger, orange zest, Thai chili paste, garlic, ½ teaspoon salt, and 2 teaspoons soy sauce Using a rubber spatula mix gently but thoroughly to combine. Divide the mixture into 16 small slider-sized patties. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 2 hours. Or freeze and thaw just before grilling.
