Ingredients
Yield: 2 servings
Main
- 2 (6 oz) salmon fillets, skin on or off
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 tsp dried dill (or 1 tbsp fresh, chopped)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
- 8 oz fresh green beans, trimmed
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, dried dill, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Step 3
Place the green beans on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with a tiny bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper, tossing to coat.
Step 4
Place the salmon fillets on the other side of the baking sheet. Pour the lemon-dill mixture evenly over each salmon fillet.
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 salmon thickness.
Step 6
Serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges.
Tips
- For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley over the salmon before serving.
- If you prefer a crisper green bean, roast them for an extra 5 minutes before adding the salmon to the pan.
