Preparation
Step 1
1 Heat broiler. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss the asparagus with 1 tablespoon oil and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Broil until just tender, 4 to 5 minutes.
2 Meanwhile, place the salmon in a food processor and pulse 4 to 5 minutes just until coarsely chopped (it should still be somewhat chunky). Add half the scallions and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper and pulse 2 times to combine. Form the mixture into four 3/4-inch thick patties.
3 Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large non stick skillet over medium heat and cook the patties, turning once (do not press or flatten), until opaque throughout, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to rolls and top with pesto and greens.
4 In a large bowl, toss together the tomatoes, asparagus, remaining scallions, remaining tablespoon of oil and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper; fold in the mint. Serve with the salmon burger.
