Serves 4 Hands-On Time: 20m Total Time: 20m

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 1/4 pounds skinless salmon fillet, cut into 4 pieces
  • kosher salt and black pepper
  • 1 pound green beans, trimmed and halved crosswise
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds
  • 2 tablespoons capers

Directions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Season the salmon with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Cook until opaque throughout, 3 to 5 minutes per side; transfer to plates.
  2. Meanwhile, fill a second skillet with ½ inch of water, bring to a boil, and add ¼ teaspoon salt. Add the green beans, cover, and steam until just tender, 4 to 5 minutes; drain and transfer to plates.
  3. Wipe out the green bean skillet and heat the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the almonds and cook, stirring frequently, until the almonds and butter are golden brown (but not burned), 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the capers. Spoon over the fish and green beans.
