- 1 1/2 cups radish, very thinly sliced
- 1/3 cup canola mayonnaise

- 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets, skinned

Instructions
- Place radishes in a small bowl. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan over high heat, combine the water, 1/4 cup of the rice vinegar, sugar and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil. Stir frequently until the sugar dissolves. Pour the hot vinegar mixture over the radishes. Transfer to the refrigerator to chill, 30 minutes. Drain excess liquid.

- Preheat an outdoor grill to high heat.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce and chili sauce. Set aside.
- Season the fillets with salt and pepper, to taste. Coat the grill racks with cooking spray. Grill the fillets 4 minutes, then brush with half the soy mixture.
- Flip the fillets, and grill an additional 4 minutes or to desired doneness. Brush with remaining half of the soy mixture.
- Spread 2 tablespoons of the mayonnaise mixture on the bottom of each bun half. Top each with a cooked fillet. Divide the radishes evenly among the burgers. Arrange 2 slices of lettuce on top of each fillet.
- Cap each burger with a top bun half, and serve.
