Wash asparagus, cut off woody ends and peel lower third of spears. Rinse and drain the beans. Peel and finely dice garlic. Rinse salmon fillets, pat dry, salt and pepper.
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a frying pan. Cover and steam asparagus for 5-10 minutes over medium heat. Season with salt and pepper and keep warm.
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in another pan. Sauté garlic in it for 2 minutes over medium heat. Add seafood and stir-fry for 5 minutes. Deglaze with juice. Add beans and cook 2-4 minutes until most of the liquid has evaporated. Season mixture with salt, pepper and cayenne pepper.
