Place fresh salmon fillets into a food processor and chop lightly.
In a bowl, mix together salmon, panko, mayonnaise, red peppers, green onions, ginger root, soy sauce and black pepper.
After mixing everything together, chill for 20-30 minutes.
Heat sesame oil in a skillet on medium heat. Use a measuring cup to scoop out 1 cup salmon mixture and drop into hot oil. (If you want to make mini salmon sliders, use a 1/4 cup scoop.)
Use a spatula to flatten and shape into a patty.
Fry for 3-5 minutes each side until golden brown. Remove from heat and drain on a paper towel.
Top with wasabi mayo and add your desired toppings.
