Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small bowl, combine 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp ground coriander, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon, 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to create the Moroccan spice mixture.
  2. Step 2: Place 4 salmon fillets and 12 oz trimmed green beans on the prepared sheet pan. Brush the spice mixture evenly over the salmon and toss the green beans to coat them in any remaining marinade.
  3. Step 3: Roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the green beans are tender-crisp. Remove and serve immediately.
