INGREDIENTS
8 ounces Salmon Fillet
1 cup Brown Rice, cooked
1 cup Green Beans
2 teaspoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Begin by cooking the brown rice according to package instructions if not pre-cooked. Set aside once done.
While the rice is cooking, prepare the green beans by trimming the ends. Blanch them in boiling water for about 2-3 minutes until just tender, then transfer to a bowl of ice water to retain their crispness.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and minced garlic, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the blanched green beans to the skillet and lightly toss them in the garlic-infused oil. Sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes, seasoning with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a separate skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the salmon fillet skin-side down and sear for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy.
Flip the salmon carefully and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side or until the salmon is cooked to your preferred doneness.
Plate the dish by placing the cooked brown rice as a base, layering the seared salmon on top, and neatly arranging the garlic green beans on the side.
Serve immediately, enjoying the contrast of textures and flavors.
