Pan-Seared Salmon with Roasted Potatoes and Green Beans

4 servings
Oven: 425ºF

Ingredients

  • 1 lb salmon
  • 2 lb red potatoes cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 lb string beans washed, ends removed
  • 1 head of garlic
  • 1 lemon quartered lengthwise
  • olive oil
  • sea salt
  • freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

1

Preparation: Preheat the oven to 425 F. Place a skillet over medium-high heat.

2

Roast the potatoes: Peel the garlic. Wash, dry, and quarter the potatoes. Place the potatoes and garlic in a roasting pan and toss using hands with olive oil to coat along with salt and freshly ground pepper. Place the pan in a 425 F oven for 30 minutes, occasionally stirring the potatoes.

3

Cook the beans: Sauté the beans in the skillet with some olive oil and sea salt. When done, remove from the pan and cover to keep warm, returning the pan to the heat.

4

Cook the fish: Cut the fish into four equal-sized fillets. Sprinkle each with salt and freshly ground black pepper and drizzle with olive oil. Drizzle a little olive oil into the pan and add the fillets skin side up (skinless side against the pan). Cook, flipping once, until done, about 5 minutes per side.

5

Plate the dish: Place a salmon fillet on each plate, accompanied by a heap of roasted potatoes, some sautéed green beans, and a lemon wedge. Serve immediately.
