Cookware

chef's knife · cutting board · grill pan, outdoor grill, or skillet · measuring cups · measuring spoons · mixing bowls · salad spinner (optional) · spatula · whisk or fork

Directions

  1. Chop the green onions after washing and drying, and transfer them to a medium bowl.
  2. Dice the salmon into small pieces and add it to the bowl with the onions.
  3. Heat a grill pan, outdoor grill, or skillet over medium heat to prepare for cooking.
  4. Add bread crumbs, lemon juice, Dijon, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the salmon and onions; mix until evenly combined and shape into two patties.
  5. Lightly oil the grill surface or the bottom of the skillet, then cook the patties until they are cooked through, about 3–4 minutes per side.
  6. Rinse and dry the greens and tomato; slice the tomato into rounds.
  7. Whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon, salt, and pepper in a small bowl to make the dressing, and set aside.
  8. Toast the buns or rolls on the grill or skillet, then spread the inside with mayonnaise.
  9. Assemble by placing greens on the bottom bun, topping with a salmon patty and tomato rounds, adding the top bun, and serving the remaining greens with the dressing on the side.

Two tips

  • Make-ahead: portion and refrigerate the salmon mix up to a day before cooking. Re-seal and cook when ready.
  • Serving idea: swap tomato for sliced cucumber or use a dash of the dressing on the greens for extra flavor.
