Panko-Crusted Salmon Sliders with Quick Ponzu Cucumbers

1. To prepare cucumbers, combine ingredients in a bowl. Mix well and let stand 15 minutes. Drain before using.
2. To prepare burgers, chop salmon into medium-size pieces, place in food processor in 2 batches, and pulse to dice. Transfer to a bowl. Add garlic, mustard, salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly.
3. Divide salmon mixture into 4 portions. Shape into patties.
4. Dredge patties in Kikkoman panko breadcrumbs.  Gently press crumbs into patties to adhere.
5. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; add oil. When oil is hot, place patties in pan and cook until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. (Alternately, place in a grill basket and grill on both sides until thoroughly cooked.)
6. Toast buns. Top bun bottoms with salmon burgers and soy cucumbers. Place bun tops on top.
