Instructions

  1. Step 1: Season 2 salmon fillets with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place salmon skin-side down and cook for 5-6 minutes until skin is crisp and edges opaque.
  2. Step 2: Flip salmon and cook for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through and easily flakes with a fork. Remove salmon and keep warm.
  3. Step 3: In a small bowl, combine 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt, 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill, and 1 tbsp lemon juice. Mix well and refrigerate until serving.
  4. Step 4: In the same skillet, heat remaining 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add 3 sliced garlic cloves and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Step 5: Add 12 oz trimmed fresh green beans and toss to coat. Cook for 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp, stirring occasionally.
  6. Step 6: Serve salmon topped with lemon-dill yogurt sauce alongside the garlic green beans.
