Prep

Step 1. Pat Salmon dry and season with half the Salt and the Black Pepper.

Cook

Step 2. Heat Olive Oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon skin-side down and cook until the skin is crisp and the flesh is opaque halfway up, about 4 minutes.
Step 3. Meanwhile, add Green Beans, Water, and the rest of the Salt to a second large skillet. Cover and cook over medium-high heat until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes; uncover and drain.
Step 4. Turn the salmon and lower the heat to medium. Cook until the center is opaque and flakes easily, about 3 minutes, then transfer to plates.
Step 5. Reduce the salmon skillet heat to low. Add Butter and the juice from Lemon, swirling until the butter melts and the sauce looks blended, about 1 minute.

Finish & serve

Step 6. Spoon the lemon butter over the salmon and serve with the green beans and Bread.

Tips

Swap it

Use asparagus instead of green beans, checking thin spears a minute or two earlier.

Good to know

Press the salmon gently with a spatula for the first few seconds to keep the skin in contact with the pan.
