Spices/Sauces to use with Salmon Steak Burgers? [QUESTION]
I use to cook a lot and one of my favorite recipes was salmon burgers, but I can't remember any spices or sauces I use to use, so I figured I'd ask here for recommendations! How I prepare this, is normally I cut a filet into bun-sized blocks of salmon, bake them for about 5 minutes, then throw them in a pan and fry them. Then I put them on a bun with some lettuce and tomato slices.
What spices would you recommend? I know chipotle mayo is a popular sauce with salmon patties, but I don't feel like it would fit this salmon burger, and I definitely didn't use it before. What should I use to caramelize the salmon? Algave? Salt, Pepper, and brown sugar?
Thanks for the help!
Oh, and if you can think of any improvements or ideas to the cooking process, let me know, I'm always willing to try out new ideas!

[Request] Freezer meals with smaller portions that can be finished/reheated without an oven or slow cooker.
A bit of a picky request, but I'm looking for freeze-ahead meals that (a) feed 1-2 people instead of a large family and (b) can be finished in a microwave, toaster oven, or stove top. You can imagine how google has failed me here, although I did find a few prospects!
My boyfriend loves home-cooked meals, but due to his very busy work schedule and the fact that we don't live together, he doesn't have much time to cook for himself and usually resorts to fast food or microwavable frozen food. I'd love to send him home with a few things that I can prepare at home and then freeze for him to reheat or finish cooking later. I have a full kitchen with many gadgets, so I'm not very limited on the pre-making side of things. He's limited to a stove top, microwave, and toaster oven. Bonus points if I can package these recipes in disposable containers, since it's likely I wouldn't see any of my good tupperware again if he took it home :P Thank you in advance if you have suggestions!

[Question] What else can I add to a salmon cake? + fish questions.
I don't eat fish or seafood, so I'm hoping to get a little help, as I have no idea what tastes good with it.
My toddler loves my homemade spinach salmon cakes. There is low sodium canned salmon, cooked spinach, eggs, and bread crumbs in it.
I need to keep the spinach in it, as he's off veggies. Ugh, toddlers.
Any ideas what I can add to my spinach salmon cakes to help keep them interesting? I tried canned crab Once, but I'm hoping for something fresh and less processed and little to no salt added.
I made a homemade tartar sauce that he loves on them. I used dill pickle relish as he loves dill pickles. So I'd need to know if the new ingredient would pair ok with the tarter sauce or not.
I don't need amounts, as I'm pretty good at figuring that sort of thing out on my own. Unless it's important to only add a tiny amount or something not obvious.
Also, could I use raw salmon to make these cakes? My store sells a whole(no head and no guts) pink salmon for about $10-$20. I was thinking to pressure cook the salmon to soften the bones. I'm hoping this would make the salmon healthier over the canned stuff.
Can I replace the salmon with pan fish? I love to fish on the shore, and I upgraded all my gear so I could enjoy fishing more. Pressure cook pan fish?
I'm open to opinions and suggestions. Any help to make his fav food better and to add more variety
