6 ounces green beans, trimmed
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 salmon steak (8 to 10 ounces)

Directions

2. Add green beans and 3 tablespoons water to skillet; cover, and cook until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain any liquid from skillet. Season green beans with salt and pepper. Add to plate with garlic, toss, and cover loosely with foil.

Cook's Notes

A teaspoon of ground pepper helps give this salmon its dark crust. You need only one skillet to cook both the salmon and green beans.
