  1. Heat a large skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat. Add walnuts and toast, stirring frequently, until fragrant and golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Set aside.

  2. Return pan to medium-high heat and add cooking oil. Add salmon patties to heated oil. Sear on each side for 2 to 3 minutes. Lower heat to medium, cover pan with a lid or foil, and cook for another 2 minutes.

  3. Assemble salads by creating a bed of lettuce. Top with radishes, cucumbers, peas, and walnuts. Top each salad with a salmon cake. Finish with vinaigrette at the table. Enjoy!
