In a small pot, combine quinoa, water, and a third of the salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let rest covered.
While the quinoa simmers, season the salmon fillet with half the pepper and a third of the salt. Press the garlic slices and ginger matchsticks onto the top of the fillet.
When the quinoa begins its rest, add the remaining water to a 12-inch skillet and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add the green beans and the remaining salt. Place the salmon fillet on top of the beans. Cover the skillet tightly and steam over medium-low heat for 8 to 10 minutes. If the pan looks dry, add a spoonful more water. Done when flakes easily, 145°F.
Fluff the quinoa with a fork and stir in the olive oil, lemon juice, chopped parsley, and the remaining pepper. Plate the herbed quinoa alongside the steamed green beans and ginger-garlic salmon.
