Golden Pan-Seared Salmon with Zesty Green Beans
Pan-seared salmon fillets with a crisp golden crust served alongside tender-crisp green beans tossed in a bright, zesty lemon-garlic infusion.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz salmon fillet
1.5 cup fresh green beans
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tbsp lemon juice
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp smoked paprika
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet completely dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with the sea salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large cast-iron or stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering.
Carefully place the salmon in the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes without moving it to ensure a deep, golden-brown crust develops.
Flip the salmon fillet and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the fish is just opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Transfer the salmon to a warm plate to rest; immediately add the trimmed green beans and minced garlic to the same hot skillet.
Sauté the green beans for 5-6 minutes until they are tender-crisp and slightly charred, then stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice before serving.
