Preheat your oven to 425°F for roasting the green beans.
Trim the green beans and toss them with half a teaspoon of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast the green beans in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until they are tender and lightly crisped at the edges.
While the beans are roasting, pat the salmon fillet dry. Season it with a pinch of salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the remaining olive oil.
Mince the garlic clove and add it to the pan, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Place the salmon fillet in the skillet, skin side down if applicable, and cook for about 3-4 minutes until a crispy crust forms.
Flip the salmon and squeeze lemon juice over it. Continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes, depending on the fillet’s thickness, until the salmon is just cooked through.
Remove the salmon from the skillet and plate alongside the roasted green beans.
Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal.
