Fancy 4th of July Burgers (Char-burgers)

I didn't orginally plan to make fish burgers on the 4th of July. I was planning to make them the weekend leading up to the 4th and then make brats on the 4th... However it turns out that Artic Char (a fish I'd never heard of) is not a common fish on my local fishmongers shelves; I had to special order it. So the brats and the burgers swapped. Alton Brown notes that this is his favorite recipe in EveryDayCook so I was intrigued.

Difficulty Level: Medium
Will It Get Made Again? This is tricky. On the one hand, I would absolutely eat these again. On the reality check side, this was expensive, hard to find fish and I truly hate pulling pin bones out of fillets. The most likely scenario is that I follow the recipe again using a substitute fish, most likely regular salmon.
