This meal looks like it's all about the health at first: fresh green beans and flaky salmon aren't exactly a cheeseburger and fries. (But, oh, if a cheeseburger and fries was as healthy as green beans and salmon!) But first glances don't always tell the whole story: the second word of the title is where the fun begins. Salty rich pecans and our friend butter combine to top the salmon with some lovely decadence. Combining healthy and fun never tasted so good! Tip: Line 'em up! The best way to remove the ends of green beans is to line them up evenly, then remove them with one cut.
