Ingredients
Yield: 2 servings
Main
- 2 (6 oz) salmon fillets, skin on or off
- 12 oz fresh green beans, trimmed
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- Juice of 1/2 lemon (about 1-2 tbsp)
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper.
Step 3
Place salmon fillets and trimmed green beans on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle about half of the garlic butter mixture over the green beans, tossing to coat. Arrange salmon fillets with a little space between them and the green beans.
Step 4
Spoon the remaining garlic butter mixture evenly over the salmon fillets. Season everything lightly with a bit more salt and pepper, if desired.
Step 5
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the green beans are tender-crisp. Cooking time will vary based on the thickness of your salmon.
Step 6
Serve immediately with extra lemon wedges for squeezing.
Tips
- For a little extra crispy texture on the green beans, make sure they are in a single layer and not overlapping too much.
- A pinch of red pepper flakes can be added to the butter mixture for a subtle kick.
