Ingredients

Instructions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). On a baking sheet, toss green beans with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Spread in a single layer and roast for 12-15 minutes, or until tender-crisp.
2. 2
   While green beans roast, pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
3. 3
   Heat a large oven-safe skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat. Once hot, add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Place salmon fillets skin-side down (if applicable) in the hot skillet. Sear for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
4. 4
   Flip the salmon fillets and reduce heat to medium. Continue to cook for another 3-5 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through to your desired doneness (internal temperature reaches 145°F/63°C). Transfer salmon to a plate and cover loosely with foil.
5. 5
   In the same skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in fresh lemon juice and chopped dill. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
6. 6
   Spoon the lemon-dill butter sauce over the pan-seared salmon. Serve immediately with the roasted green beans and lemon wedges for squeezing. Garnish with fresh parsley.
