Well, this isn't a burger recipe, but I just grilled some salmon last night, and the recipe was so good and so easy I feel compelled to post it.

2 T real maple syrup
2 T good soy sauce
2 pounds salmon filets

Mix the syrup and soy sauce together. Paint mixture on the non-skin side of the salmon. Let sit for 15 or 20 minutes. Grill salmon, about 5 minutes per side.

This was supposed to serve four, but we ate only about half of it, so I guess really it could serve eight!

This is not a burger recipe either, but it is for a potato salad to go with  grilled fish.

Peel and boil potatoes in normal way, chop roughly and then fold in mayonnaise and chopped fresh dill,salt and pepper.
The dill gives the salad a lovely light taste and goes beautifully with all sorts of fresh grilled fish.

I also make a tomato salad with sliced tomatoes and sliced mozzarella, layered alternately in a flat dish.Just prior to serving pour over a light balsamic vinaigrette dressing (light olive oil,Dijon mustard,balsamic and sherry vinegar) and plenty of chopped basil. Goes well with most meat.
The dressing I just make to my own taste,more balsamic and it is sweeter,more sherry vinegar and it is more tart.

 I always make a cous cous salad as well.Make up according to packet instructions,then mix in finely chopped cucumber,cherry tomatoes, and fresh chopped mint.Just before serving stir in some of the same vinaigrette dressing from above.

Lastly I add grated strong cheddar cheese to my coleslaw salad,which I make with chopped red cabbage and grated carrots and mayo/creme fraiche 50/50 mix.It is a little lighter with that mix ,but the cheddar gives it a real tang.

I have taken these 4 salads to lots of pot luck bbq's here and they always seem to go down well.
