I made this for dinner last night and it was very good! I removed the skin and the bones from the canned salmon first and subbed two shallots for the red onion, but other than that followed the recipe.The chili mayonnaise has a nice little kick to it which can be increased by adding more chili sauce. I think this would also be good on a toasted bun with lettuce, maybe some onion, and the chili mayo.Thanks for posting this- it goes into my "keeper" file!
