Ingredients
Scale
- 1 salmon fillet (5–6 oz)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup cooked brown rice
- 1 cup green beans, trimmed
- 1/2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, mix honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and Dijon mustard (if using).
- Cook the salmon: Season the salmon fillet with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat and sear the salmon for about 3–4 minutes on each side. During the last minute, pour the glaze over the salmon to caramelize.
- Sauté the green beans: In another pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add trimmed green beans seasoned with salt and cook for 5–7 minutes until blistered and tender.
- Serve: Plate your meals by placing the salmon adjacent to brown rice and sautéed green beans. Drizzle any remaining glaze over the top.
