Salmon With Brown Butter and Almonds

Right out of Real Simple Magazine. I made it tonight and it was quick and delicious!

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

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