Green Beans with Pearl Onions and Salmon

Giangi Townsend

There is always a dilemma in our family when it comes to a side dish: pasta or potatoes. I love potatoes, the rest of the family loves pasta. Last night I decided that neither would be prepared, instead we will have a larger vegetables portion to go along with the salmon I was going to prepare. Somehow I had frozen green beans and pearl onion in the freezer and decided to do something with them. Preparing them together with a slight sweet final sauce, was just what I needed to make my son enjoy them. Truth to be known he is not fond of green beans and even less of onions. Cooking the salmon in the same skillet as the green beans, because some of the caramelized is still on the skillet, the salmon gets a nice crisp coating. Do not overcook the salmon. If the middle still a bit pink, turn on the side for 30 seconds to cook. Bon Appetit!!! Giangi
