Instructions

Prepare the mashed potatoes: Boil potatoes until fork-tender, drain, and mash with butter, milk, garlic powder (if using), salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
Cook the green beans: Sauté green beans in olive oil over medium heat with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper for 5–7 minutes until tender and slightly crisp.
Cook the salmon: Season fillets with salt, pepper, and chili flakes. In a pan, melt butter and sauté garlic. Stir in Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, and whole grain mustard.
Place salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 3–4 minutes per side, spooning sauce over as they cook.
Plate the salmon alongside mashed potatoes and green beans. Drizzle any remaining sauce over the salmon for extra flavor.

Notes

Use Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes for creamy mashed potatoes.
Fresh lemon juice enhances the salmon’s brightness.
Adjust chili flakes to taste for a milder or spicier kick.
Leftovers store well and make a great next-day meal.
