Prepare the quinoa according to package instructions if not using pre-cooked quinoa.
Trim the ends of the green beans and mince the garlic clove.
Season the salmon fillet with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add half of the olive oil.
Place the salmon in the skillet skin-side down and sear for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy.
Flip the salmon carefully and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the fish is cooked through to your preference.
Remove the salmon from the pan and set aside to rest.
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil, minced garlic, and green beans.
Sauté the green beans for 4-6 minutes until they are tender-crisp and the garlic is fragrant.
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the salmon and the green beans.
Plate the salmon over the warm quinoa and serve the garlic green beans on the side.
