Lynn's Fresh Salmon With Smoked Cheese

1 1/2 lb skinless salmon
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tbl cornstarch
2 tbl chopped shallots
1 tbl chopped fresh chives
1 tbl chopped fresh parsley
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly-ground white pepper
    Nonstick cooking spray for spraying patties
6 x sesame seed burger buns
1/2 lb smoked Gouda, Farmer's, or
    Jarlsberg cheese cut into 6 slices
6 tbl pickle relish

 Method :
Cut salmon into small pieces. In a blender or food processor, pulse in batches for about 10 to 15 seconds each, until coarsely ground. In a mixing bowl mix together ground salmon, heavy cream, cornstarch, shallots, chives, parsley, salt, and white pepper until well blended.
Shape salmon mixture into six 1/2-inch thick patties. Place patties on waxed paper. Spray with nonstick cooking spray and place in refrigerator for 5 minutes.
Place patties, sprayed-side down, in center of cooking grate. Grill 6 to 8 minutes or until well-done, turning once halfway through grilling time. Place each patty on a bun; top with one slice of smoked cheese and 1 tablespoon of pickle relish.
This recipe yields 6 servings.
Wine Recommendation: A light- to medium-bodied red will accommodate the smoked cheese and bolster the salmon. Try chilling the wine!
Beer Recommendation: The smoky notes from the grill and the cheese call out for a serious and sultry ale. Try a complex copper brew with a bitter, clean finish.
Comments: Serve these at your next barbecue and everyone will wonder why they didn't think of it themselves.
