Seared Salmon with Sauteed Green Beans

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil reduces saturated fat while maintaining flavor.

Season the salmon fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Add olive oil to a preheated pan.

Place the salmon in the pan skin-side down and sear over medium heat for 3-4 minutes.

Flip the salmon only once, when the bottom half is white, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes for well done.

Turn off the heat and set the salmon aside.

Add olive oil to another preheated pan.

Place the green beans in the pan and season with salt, black pepper, and crushed garlic.

Stir and fry the green beans for 3-4 minutes depending on desired tenderness.

Turn off the heat and set the green beans aside on a platter.

Lay the salmon fillets over the green beans and squeeze fresh lemon juice onto each fillet.

Garnish with fresh lemon wedges and serve.
