This was a surprising combination of flavors that was quite good and so easy. Bonus because the string beans cooked with the salmon and just needed a simple rice dish to make a complete meal

Although obviously not an authentic Asian recipe, the flavor profile will appeal to those who like Asian food since the ingredients are those typically used in many Asian dishes.

Peanut Butter-Glazed Salmon and Green Beans
By Kay Chun

* YIELD 4 servings
* TIME 20 minutes

This fast and fun weeknight meal reveals an unexpected use for peanut butter, transforming it into a savory five-ingredient sauce. The pantry favorite is combined with tangy lemon juice, fragrant ginger and toasted sesame oil to create a rich, supernutty glaze that pairs well with fatty salmon. Here the salmon is roasted on a rack of green beans, but a bed of broccoli florets would be an excellent alternative. The sweet-salty glaze can be made a day ahead and brought to room temperature before using.

INGREDIENTS

* 1 pound green beans, trimmed
* 1 bunch scallions (about 6), halved lengthwise then cut crosswise into thirds
* 1 tablespoon minced garlic
* 3 tablespoons neutral oil, such as safflower or canola
* Salt and black pepper
* ¼ cup smooth peanut butter (either conventional or natural works)
* 2 tablespoons lemon juice, plus lemon wedges for serving
* 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
* 1 tablespoon grated peeled ginger
* ½ teaspoon toasted sesame oil
* 4 (6-ounce) center-cut salmon fillets
* ¼ cup chopped unsalted roasted peanuts (optional)

PREPARATION

1. Heat oven to 450 degrees. On a large rimmed baking sheet, combine green beans, scallions, garlic and 2 tablespoons of the neutral oil; season with salt and pepper. Toss to evenly coat, then spread in an even layer.

2. Prepare the peanut butter glaze: In a small bowl, combine peanut butter, lemon juice, soy sauce, ginger, sesame oil and 1 tablespoon water. Season with salt and pepper, then whisk until smooth.
3. Rub salmon with the remaining 1 tablespoon neutral oil and season with salt. Arrange salmon on top of beans and spoon half of the peanut butter glaze on top of the fish. Roast for 5 minutes, then spoon over the remaining glaze. Roast until salmon is cooked to medium and beans are crisp-tender, 5 to 7 minutes more, depending on thickness.

4. Divide salmon and beans among serving plates. Top with peanuts and serve with lemon wedge
