Instructions

Step 1: Pat dry 4 salmon fillets and season both sides with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Place salmon skin-side down and cook for 5 minutes until skin is crisp.
Step 3: Flip salmon and add 3 minced garlic cloves to the pan. Stir garlic around salmon and cook for 2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp low sodium soy sauce and 1 tbsp honey. Pour mixture over salmon and cook for another 2 minutes, spooning glaze over fillets until sauce thickens.
Step 5: Remove salmon from skillet and keep warm. Add remaining 1 tbsp sesame oil to the skillet with 12 oz trimmed green beans. Sauté for 5 minutes until tender-crisp.
Step 6: Sprinkle 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds over green beans and toss to combine. Serve salmon atop green beans with remaining glaze drizzled over.
