Directions
- Chop the green onions after washing and drying, and transfer them to a medium bowl.
- Dice the salmon into small pieces and add it to the bowl with the onions.
- Heat a grill pan, outdoor grill, or skillet over medium heat to prepare for cooking.
- 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.
- 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.
- Rinse and dry the greens and tomato; slice the tomato into rounds.
- Whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon, salt, and pepper in a small bowl to make the dressing, and set aside.
- Toast the buns or rolls on the grill or skillet, then spread the inside with mayonnaise.
- 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.
