Ingredients

8 salmon fillets (6 ounce, skin on or off)
2 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
0.5 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
0.5 teaspoon black pepper
1 pound fresh green beans (trimmed)
1 red bell pepper (thinly sliced)
2 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon lime juice
4 cup jasmine rice (uncooked)

Instructions

Pat dry 8 salmon fillets. Season with 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, salt and black pepper.
Cook 4 cups jasmine rice according to package directions.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place salmon fillets, skin-side down if applicable, and cook for 4-5 minutes until skin is crispy. Flip and cook for another 3-5 minutes, or until cooked to your desired doneness.
While salmon cooks, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in another large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound trimmed fresh green beans and 1 thinly sliced red bell pepper. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons soy sauce and 1 tablespoon lime juice. Pour over the stir-fried vegetables and toss to coat. Cook for 1 minute more.
Serve the pan-seared salmon with the green bean stir-fry and jasmine rice.

Notes

Be careful not to overcook the salmon to keep it moist and flaky. For a brighter flavor, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the vegetables.
