Pan-Seared Salmon with Garlic Green Beans and Lemon Rice

Marinating the Salmon In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to create the marinade. Coat the salmon fillets with the marinade and let them marinate for 30 minutes.

Cooking the Rice Cook the rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, fluff the rice with a fork and stir in the lemon zest and juice. Keep warm.

Preparing the Green Beans In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add green beans and sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from the skillet and keep warm.

Pan-Searing the Salmon In the same skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Remove the salmon fillets from the marinade and pat them dry. Season with salt and pepper. Place the fillets skin side down and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until cooked through and crispy on the outside.
