Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, 1 tbsp honey, and 1 minced garlic clove to create the glaze.
Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 salmon fillets skin-side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes until skin is crispy.
Step 3: Flip salmon and pour the soy-ginger glaze over the fillets, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until salmon is cooked through and glaze thickens.
Step 4: While salmon cooks, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add 12 oz trimmed green beans and blanch for 3 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender. Drain well.
Step 5: Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a separate skillet over medium heat. Add green beans, 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds, and 1/4 tsp black pepper, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until beans are coated and heated through.
Step 6: Serve salmon fillets topped with any remaining glaze alongside the sesame green beans.
