1 tbsp (15 mL) butter
1 onion, chopped
1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt

1/2 lemon

Rinse mussels, trimming off any beards. Discard any mussels that do not close when tapped. Set aside.
In large shallow Dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat; cook chopped onion, salt and pepper, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.

Squeeze juice from lemon into pan; add remaining lemon. Add beer; bring to boil. Add mussels; reduce heat, cover and simmer until mussels open, about 10 minutes. Discard any that do not open. Discard lemon; sprinkle with green onions.
