Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1/4 cup fresh orange juice, 2 tbsp honey, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tsp grated ginger until combined.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Pat dry 4 salmon fillets and season with 1/2 tsp black pepper.
Step 3: Place salmon skin-side down and sear for 4 minutes until edges turn crispy, then flip and cook for 3 more minutes.
Step 4: Pour the citrus-soy glaze over salmon and reduce heat to medium-low. Spoon glaze over fillets for 2 minutes until sauce thickens and coats the fish.
Step 5: Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to boil and blanch 12 oz trimmed green beans for 3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain well.
Step 6: Toss green beans with 1 tbsp sesame oil and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds while warm.
Step 7: Serve salmon fillets topped with extra glaze alongside the sesame green beans.
