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

I'm sharing this recipe again, because my client loves it so much he wants it for lunch EVERY DAY!!!  It is very good, if you like salmon, but I'm not sure I would like it every day.  I thought you may want to give it a try.  Oh - I use a food processor to get the salmon to the right consistency.  Also, they are not going to be tight burgers like with beef.  They will be loose but don't worry, they hang together when they cook.  Enjoy :-)
