Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper. In a small bowl, combine 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp lemon zest, 2 tbsp lemon juice, and 2 tbsp olive oil to create an herb-garlic mixture.
  2. Step 2: Place 4 salmon fillets (5 oz each) skin-side down on one side of the sheet pan. Brush each fillet generously with the herb-garlic mixture.
  3. Step 3: On the other side of the sheet pan, toss 12 oz trimmed green beans with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until evenly coated. Spread them out in a single layer.
  4. Step 4: Roast salmon and green beans in the oven for 12-15 minutes, until salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and green beans are tender-crisp.
  5. Step 5: Remove from oven and serve immediately, spooning any pan juices over the salmon.
