Season the salmon fillet with salt and pepper on both sides.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
Once the oil is shimmering, place the salmon fillet skin-side down (if applicable) and sear for about 4-5 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Flip the salmon and sear the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes until just cooked through.
In a separate pan, heat a small drizzle of olive oil over medium heat and add minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, then add the green beans.
Cook the green beans, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes until tender yet crisp.
If the brown rice is not already cooked, prepare it according to package instructions or use pre-cooked rice heated through.
Plate the cooked brown rice as the base, top with the seared salmon, and arrange garlic green beans on the side.
Finish with an optional light drizzle of olive oil over the beans and a final sprinkle of salt and pepper to taste.
