Pat the salmon dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
Sear the salmon fillet for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
While the salmon cooks, steam the green beans and cauliflower until tender (about 6-8 minutes).
In a small pan, sauté the minced garlic in a tiny drizzle of olive oil until fragrant, then toss with the steamed green beans.
For the cauliflower mash, blend the steamed cauliflower with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a small drizzle of olive oil until smooth.
Plate the mashed cauliflower as a base, arrange the garlic green beans alongside, and top with the seared salmon.
Garnish with a sprinkle of freshly ground pepper or chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
