SALMON AND GREEN BEANS POJARSKI WITH CUCUMBER HOT SAUCE

Steps:

• Remove and discard any skin and sinew from the salmon and cut the flesh into 1-inch pieces.
• Cut away any damaged spots on the beans, wash thoroughly in cold water, and cut into 1-inch pieces.
• To make the fresh bread crumbs, break fresh bread into pieces and grind in the bowl of a food processor. You should have 1 1/2 cups. (Note: fresh bread crumbs are superior to dry bread crumbs. If, however, fresh crumbs are not available, use half the amount of dry crumbs - 3/4 cup for this recipe.) Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
• Place the green beans and hot pepper in the bowl of a food processor and process until finely chopped; the mixture should be rather granulated, not smooth and liquid. You should have about 2 cups. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
• In the unwashed bowl of the processor, place the salmon and process for a few seconds, starting and stopping the machine, until coarsely chopped. Add to the bean puree with the eggs, bread crumbs, garlic, pepper, salt and shredded basil. Mix well.
• Using a spoon, make patties weighing about 3 to 3 1/2 ounces each. Wet your hands if you feel they will stick to the salmon mixture and arrange the patties on a tray lined with plastic wrap. You should have 12 patties, 2 per person, and each patty should be no more than 1 inch thick and about 3 inches across. Set aside while you make the sauce.
• To cook the salmon, use 2 large skillets, preferably nonstick. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in each skillet. When hot, add the patties and cook over medium to high heat for 2 1/2 minutes on each side. Set aside for a few minutes before serving with cucumber hot sauce.
