Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Clean the vegetables and rinse the salmon fillets.

Cut the green onions into about 2-inch pieces for garnish and place them in ice-cold water to curl.

Mince the green onions, combining the greens and whites together.

Mince the garlic cloves.

Trim the ends of the green beans and inspect them for bad pieces, discarding any that are not good.

Rinse the salmon fillets and pat them dry, then season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and brown one side of the salmon for about 3-4 minutes.

Transfer the salmon to a baking sheet and place it in the oven to cook for 7-10 minutes.

In the same skillet, add more olive oil and the green beans, seasoning with salt and black pepper, and cook over medium heat for 3-5 minutes.

Add half of the minced ginger and half of the minced garlic to the green beans and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Remove the green beans from heat once they are nicely charred.

In a bowl, combine the remaining ginger and garlic to make the sauce.
