    Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.

    Add trimmed green beans to the pan; cook over medium-high heat, tossing occasionally, until crisp-tender and charred in spots, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in 3 tablespoons hoisin, 1 tablespoon water and the remaining 1 tablespoon tamari and 1 teaspoon ginger. Cook, stirring often, until the sauce has thickened and the beans are tender, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and immediately add the cooked salmon; toss until the salmon is coated in sauce.
