Instructions
- Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp maple syrup, 2 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 minced garlic clove; set aside as the glaze.
- Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season 4 salmon fillets with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper, then place skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for 4 minutes until the edges are crisp.
- Step 3: Flip the salmon and brush each fillet generously with the maple glaze. Continue cooking for 3-4 minutes until the glaze thickens and the salmon is cooked through.
- Step 4: While salmon cooks, heat remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in another skillet over medium heat. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Step 5: Add 1 lb trimmed green beans to the skillet, season with 1/2 tsp salt, and sauté for 6-8 minutes until tender but still bright green.
- Step 6: Remove green beans from heat, toss with 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice, and serve alongside the maple-glazed salmon immediately.
