Pat the salmon dry, season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat half the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the salmon for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until cooked through and a golden crust forms.
While the salmon cooks, peel and cube the sweet potato, then steam or boil until tender.
Mash the sweet potato with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper until smooth.
In a separate pan, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Add the green beans and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until they are crisp-tender and coated in garlic oil.
Plate the sweet potato mash, top with the seared salmon, and serve with garlic green beans on the side.
