Step 1 Make the rhubarb chutney
Combine rhubarb and all chutney ingredients except wine vinegar and honey in a large saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, over medium-low heat for about 20 minutes. Stir in vinegar and honey. Continue to cook and stir over medium-low heat for another 15 minutes. Remove from heat. Reserve half of chutney for burgers; refrigerate remainder for another use.

Step 2 Prepare the salmon for burgers
Dice half of the salmon in 1/4-inch cubes; set aside in a medium bowl. Pulse the other half in a mini food processor until smooth; stir into the diced salmon.

Step 3 Make salmon burger mixture
In a separate bowl, combine cilantro, scallions, garlic, lime juice, soy sauce, sesame oil and smoked paprika. Add cilantro mixture to salmon, stirring gently just to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Shape salmon mixture into 4 patties, about 3/4 inch thick; chill until ready to cook.

Step 4 Cook burgers and serve
Grill or pan fry salmon patties (in a nonstick spray-coated pan) about 3-4 minutes per side. Place on buns and top with a dollop of rhubarb chutney and desired garnishes.
