Ingredients
  

  • 4 wild salmon fillets with skin
  • 1 tsp dried oregano or garlic/herb seasoning blend
  • 1 lb string beans trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 6 mandarins peeled and segmented
  • Lemon wedges optional, for serving

Instructions
 

  • Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt, pepper, dried oregano or a garlic/herb seasoning blend.
  • In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the string beans and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender-crisp. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute. Transfer the beans to a plate and keep warm.
  • In the same or another large skillet, add the remaining olive oil and butter. Once the butter has melted and the oil is hot, place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes on the skin side until it is crispy and golden brown. Flip the fillets and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through.
  • Arrange the string beans and mandarin segments on a serving platter. Place the salmon fillets on top and garnish with lemon wedges if desired.
