Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the broiler and position the rack 4 inches away from the heat source. Place the salmon on a rimmed baking sheet. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper, then massage with 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Broil until the salmon fillets are fully cooked and opaque, which should take around 10 to 12 minutes. Once done, transfer the salmon to a plate and allow it to cool before serving.

2. 2

   Begin by heating a medium pot of water until it reaches a rolling boil. Season the water with salt to enhance the flavor. Add the green beans to the boiling water and cook them until they turn a vibrant shade of green and reach a texture that is tender yet still slightly crunchy, which should take approximately 4 minutes. Once done, drain the green beans and allow them to cool down a bit before using in the recipe.

3. 3

   Take a large bowl and combine 2 teaspoons of sesame oil with lime juice and cilantro. Season the mixture generously with salt and pepper while whisking it together.
