Seared Salmon with Garlic Green Beans and Mashed Cauliflower
Enjoy a vibrant plate of perfectly seared salmon paired with tender garlic-infused green beans and a silky mashed cauliflower side. This dish combines crisp, fresh vegetables with the rich flavor of salmon, all tied together with a hint of lemon for brightness, creating a dinner that's both nutritious and satisfying.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup Green Beans
1 cup Cauliflower
1 tbsp Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat half of the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, add the salmon skin-side down and sear for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until desired doneness is reached. Squeeze a little lemon juice over the top for brightness and remove from the skillet.
In a separate pan, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the green beans to the garlic oil, tossing to combine, and sauté for 4-5 minutes until they are tender yet still crisp. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Steam or boil the cauliflower until very tender, about 8-10 minutes. Drain well and transfer to a bowl.
Mash the cauliflower using a fork or potato masher. Mix in a pinch of salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil if desired, until reaching a smooth, mashed consistency.
Plate the seared salmon alongside a serving of garlic green beans and a generous scoop of mashed cauliflower. Optionally, garnish with a final squeeze of lemon.
