Cook the brown rice according to the package instructions until tender and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the 4-ounce salmon fillet with salt and pepper on both sides.
Place the salmon fillet in the skillet, skin-side down if applicable, and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a crispy crust forms.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until desired doneness is reached.
Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the green beans to the skillet and toss in the garlic, cooking for about 4-5 minutes until they are tender yet still crisp.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Plate the dish by layering the brown rice, arranging the garlic green beans, and placing the seared salmon on top.
Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, flavorful dinner.
