Salmon with Brown Butter and Almonds

We tried this quick and easy recipe last night and it was a hit!  Feel free to substitute any kind of veggies you have on hand for the green beans...I used mixed frozen veggies in a pinch and that was still great!  The best part is that you can whip this up in less than 30 minutes.

What you'll need:
4 T unsalted butter
1 1/4 lb. skinless salmon fillet, cut into four pieces
kosher salt and black pepper
1 lb. green beans, trimmed and halved crosswise
1/4 cup sliced almonds
2 T capers

Directions:
1. Heat 1 T. of the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.  Season the salmon with 1/2 t. salt and 1/4 t. pepper.
2.  Cook the fish until opaque throughout, 3-5 minutes per side.  Transfer to individual plates.
3.  Meanwhile, fill a second skillet with 1/2 in. of water, bring to a boil, and add 1/4 t. salt.
4. Add the green beans to the second skillet, cover, and steam until just tender, 4-5 minutes.  Drain and transfer to plates.
5.  Wipe out the green bean skillet and heat the remaining 3 T of butter over medium heat.
6.  Add the almonds and cook, stirring frequently, until almonds and butter are golden brown (but not burned), 2-3 minutes.  Stir in the capers.  Spoon over fish and beans.
