PEANUT BUTTER-GLAZED SALMON AND GREEN BEANS
This fast and fun weeknight meal reveals an unexpected use for peanut butter, transforming it into a savory five-ingredient sauce. The pantry favorite is combined with tangy lemon juice, fragrant ginger and toasted sesame oil to create a rich, supernutty glaze that pairs well with fatty salmon. Here the salmon is roasted on a rack of green beans, but a bed of broccoli florets would be an excellent alternative. The sweet-salty glaze can be made a day ahead and brought to room temperature before using.

Steps:
- Melt the butter in a pan over medium-low heat and saute the garlic until highly fragrant, about 3 minutes.
- Add the green peas and vegetable broth. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook the mixture until the peas are tender but not shriveled, about 4 minutes total.
- Stir in the parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Tips:
- Fresh is best: Use fresh green peas for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen peas, thaw them completely before cooking.
- Don't overcook the peas: Peas should be cooked until they are tender but still have a slight bite to them. Overcooked peas will be mushy and lose their flavor.
- Use a good quality peanut butter: The peanut butter you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Look for a natural peanut butter that is made with 100% peanuts.
- Add some spice: A little bit of spice can help to balance out the sweetness of the peanut butter. Try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
- Serve immediately: Green peas with peanut butter is best served immediately after it is made. The peas will start to lose their鮮嫩 once they are cooked, so don't let them sit for too long before serving.
