Health benefits of Cilantro Chili Lime Glazed Salmon and Green Beans

Salmon is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are crucial for reducing inflammation and promoting cardiovascular health. It is also rich in vitamin D, which helps regulate insulin levels and improve mood, both of which are important for managing PCOS symptoms. Additionally, salmon provides a good amount of B vitamins, particularly B12, which supports energy production and helps maintain healthy nerve function. Including salmon in your diet can help balance hormones, reduce inflammation, and support overall well-being.

Ingredients

4 salmon pieces, about 2 lb.
kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
3 tbsp. Extra virgin olive oil
2 tsp. minced garlic
1 small jalapeño, minced
4 Limes, juiced
3 tbsp. brown sugar
1 lb. green beans, cut into 2" pieces
1/4 c. Chopped cilantro

Instructions

Season salmon with salt and pepper; set aside.
In a small sauce pan over medium-low heat, add olive oil, garlic, jalapeno and 1 tsp salt. Sauté for 2 minutes until garlic has softened. Add lime juice, brown sugar and stir constantly with a rubber spatula. Once sauce begins to bubble, reduce heat to low. Stir until sauce turns into a thin glaze, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Preheat a large cast iron skillet over high heat. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil until very ot and almost smoking. Sear salmon on each side for 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate and let it rest.
In a large skillet, bring 1/4 cup of water and 1 tsp salt to a boil. Add green beans, cover and cook for 4 to 5 minutes. Beans should be tender and water should evaporate, if not drain excess water. Reheat glaze on low and add cilantro. If the glaze has become too thick, add a splash of water and stir well.
Serve salmon on a bed of green beans and spoon glaze over crispy salmon.
