Ingredients
- 4 pieces, 6 oz each salmon fillets
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/3 cup orange juice
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 cloves, minced garlic cloves
- 1 lb, trimmed green beans
- 1 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Step 1: Season 4 salmon fillets evenly with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper on both sides. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Step 2: Place salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes until the edges are crispy and the skin releases easily. Flip and cook an additional 3-4 minutes until just cooked through.
- Step 3: Remove salmon from skillet and keep warm. In the same skillet over medium heat, add 2 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Step 4: Stir in 1/3 cup orange juice, 2 tbsp lemon juice, and 2 tbsp honey. Simmer the glaze for 3-4 minutes until it reduces slightly and thickens to coat the back of a spoon.
- Step 5: Meanwhile, steam 1 lb trimmed green beans until tender-crisp, about 5 minutes. Toss green beans with 1 tbsp butter and a pinch of salt.
- Step 6: Plate the salmon fillets and drizzle with the citrus glaze. Serve immediately with the buttery steamed green beans for a fresh, vibrant meal.
