A quick and easy honey garlic salmon recipe paired with fresh green beans, perfect for a healthy and comforting weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets, skin-on or skinless (6 ounces / 170 g each)
  • 12 ounces (340 g) fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

Instructions

  1. Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Trim the green beans and set aside. Mince the garlic finely or press it through a garlic press.
  2. In a small bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and softened butter. Stir until well mixed.
  3. Heat a large non-stick skillet or cast iron pan over medium heat. Place salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes until edges turn opaque and skin crisps up. Flip carefully.
  4. Add trimmed green beans around the salmon in the skillet. Pour the honey garlic sauce over the salmon and beans. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook uncovered, spooning sauce over salmon occasionally, for 8-10 minutes until green beans are tender-crisp.
  5. Check salmon for doneness; it should flake easily with a fork and reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). If needed, cover pan for 1-2 minutes to steam beans more.
  6. Transfer salmon and green beans to plates. Spoon any extra sauce on top and serve immediately.

Notes

Use medium heat to avoid burning the sauce. Pat salmon dry before cooking for better sear. Splash a teaspoon of water if sauce thickens too much. Cook in batches if pan is crowded. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari. For dairy-free, replace butter with olive or coconut oil.
