2day's recipe: Salmon Burgers (& Tomato chutney)

If you like salmon, you will absolutely LOVE these salmon burgers.  My client has a "moment" every time he eats them.  If you don't like salmon, try grilled chicken with the tomato chutney.  The chutney recipe follows the salmon burger recipe.  You can use the chutney as a condiment on anything, like the base of a BBQ chicken pizza, did I mention Cooking light recipes??!!!
Enjoy :-)
