Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 12 oz green beans trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 lemon zest and juice
  • 1 tablespoon chopped dill or parsley
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • salt and pepper

Method
 

  1. Heat the oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Season the salmon and sear skin-side down 4 minutes until crisp.
  2. Flip, add the butter and garlic, and cook 3 minutes more until the salmon flakes easily.
  3. Remove the salmon, add the green beans to the same pan with 2 tablespoons of water, cover, and cook 4 minutes.
  4. Return the salmon, shower with lemon zest, juice, and herbs, and serve.

Notes

Let the pan get hot before the salmon goes in — that is what crisps the skin.
