In my book, the summer should ideally include lots of meals with at least one grilled element. As apartment dwellers (still), I totally miss on the grilling party. A dish like this still brings the lightness and freshness of what summer dinners ought to feel like if you are also operating sans grill or get rained out! (I use this method for cooking salmon perfectly in the oven.) Salmon is so great in burgers and we loved these very much.
