In a small saucepan, combine the quinoa, water, and a pinch of the salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let rest, covered, for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
While the quinoa simmers, place a steamer basket in a pot with an inch of water. Add the green beans, cover, and steam for 5 to 7 minutes until tender.
Season the mahi mahi with the remaining salt and the black pepper. Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fish and cook for 4 minutes, flip, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes more. Done when flakes easily and opaque in center, 145°F.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the seared mahi mahi. Serve the fish over the quinoa with the green beans on the side.
