    Seared Salmon With Browned Potatoes And Green Beans

    Salmon has always been a tricky fish for me. Despite that we buy it quite often, it took me some time to figure out the optimal time for making well done and juicy salmon fillet. And I have to say, I'm not the only one. I remember one time I was shopping at Whole Foods and the guy at the checkout told me his struggles with salmon. Despite that it's one of the easiest fish to cook, you just can't get it done right.

    But today I'm happy to tell you, that I've finally cracked the salmon code. And now, every time that I cook it, fish comes out flaky, juicy and absolutely delicious.

    A few days ago, I've prepped a meal that took me no longer than 30 minutes and left my husband asking for more. Searing salmon is the easiest and fastest method to prepare the fish when you are short on time. I absolutely loved how crispy and juicy it came out.

    And since I've been in love with browned potatoes as long as I remember, I decided that it would be a perfect match for my seared salmon.

    To add some healthy benefits to this scrumptious meal, I added simple garlicky green beans.I have to say, that it was my first time that I didn't roast them, but green beans came out so tender, juicy with a mild garlicky flavor. I absolutely loved them and you will too!

    Ingredients

    For the Salmon

    • 3 salmon fillets
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • ¼ teaspoon pepper
    • 3 tablespoons olive oil

    For the Browned Potatoes

    • 1 pound red potatoes 3 medium, cut into ¼ inch-thick slices
    • 4 tablespoon oil
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • ¼ teaspoon pepper

    For Green Beans:

    • ½ pound green beans I used Haricot Verts
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 2 cloves garlic thinly sliced
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • ¼ teaspoon pepper

    For the Sauce:

    • 2 tablespoons Greek Yoghurt
    • 1 tablespoon milk
    • 1 tablespoon sour cream
    • 1 clove garlic finely minced
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • ⅛ teaspoon pepper
    • 1 teaspoon dill minced

    Instructions

    For the Browned Potatoes

    • Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until almost tender but not fully cooked, about 10 minutes.
    • Heat oil in a large non stick skillet and over medium heat. Add potatoes, sprinkle with salt, pepper and cook until potatoes are fully cooked and slightly brown on the sides, about 10 minutes. Set aside.

    For Green Beans:

    • While you cook the potatoes, bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add green beans and cook for 7 minutes. Drain beans and plunge them into ice water. This will stop the cooking process.
    • In a large skillet heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced garlic and cook just until it releases the flavor, about 1 minute. Add green beans, salt, pepper and continue cooking for 3 more minutes. Set aside.

    For the Salmon

    • Season each salmon fillet with salt and pepper.
    • Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. When skillet is hot enough, splash in olive oil, give it a minute or two until oil is hot and add salmon fillets skin side down. Sear salmon for 5 minutes. (Don't touch fillets during this time)
    • With a metal spatula, turn fish to the other side and continue searing for 4 more minutes. Transfer to a plate and serve with the sauce, browned potatoes and green beans.

    For the sauce

    • Whisk together all the ingredients and serve over salmon.
