Make

  1. Heat a non-stick pan or skillet over medium heat and add oil. Sear salmon patties until golden brown and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
  2. While salmon is cooking, place green beans in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover with a wet paper towel and microwave until tender (1 ½ minutes for thinner beans and closer to 2 ½ minutes for thicker beans).
  3. Toss green beans with onions (just the portion for the green beans), olive oil, vinegar and lemon juice. Season with some salt and pepper. Top with walnuts.
  4. Spread mustard over warm salmon patties. Serve patties over a bed of lettuce and topped with sliced cucumbers and red onions. Serve green beans on the side and enjoy!
