Ingredients
- 4 pieces, 6 oz each salmon fillets
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp, grated fresh ginger
- 3, minced garlic cloves
- 12 oz, trimmed green beans
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, and 3 minced garlic cloves until combined and fragrant.
- Step 2: Place 4 salmon fillets skin-side down on a lined sheet pan. Brush each fillet generously with the honey-soy glaze, reserving some for the green beans.
