Tender salmon roasted with crisp green beans in a lemon-garlic herb glaze for an easy one-pan meal.

# What You Need:

→ Fish & Vegetables

01 - 4 salmon fillets (about 5 oz each, skin-on or skinless)
02 - 14 oz fresh green beans, trimmed

→ Marinade & Seasonings

03 - 3 tbsp olive oil
04 - 1 lemon (zested and juiced)
05 - 3 garlic cloves, minced
06 - 1 tsp sea salt
07 - ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
08 - 1 tsp dried oregano or thyme (or 1 tbsp fresh, chopped)
09 - 1 tsp smoked paprika (optional)

→ Garnish

10 - Lemon wedges
11 - Fresh parsley, chopped

# How-To:

01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
02 - In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper, oregano (or thyme), and smoked paprika if using.
03 - Place green beans on one side of the baking sheet. Drizzle with half the marinade and toss to coat. Spread them out in an even layer.
04 - Arrange the salmon fillets on the other side of the sheet, skin-side down if applicable. Brush the tops with the remaining marinade.
05 - Roast in the preheated oven for 15–18 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the green beans are tender yet crisp.
06 - Remove from oven. Garnish salmon and green beans with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The salmon stays impossibly moist while those green beans get these gorgeous blistered spots
  • Cleanup takes literally two minutes because everything happens on one pan
02 -
  • Room temperature salmon cooks more evenly, take it out 10 minutes before you start
  • The green beans shrink as they roast, so pile them a bit higher than you think you should
03 -
  • Dont skip the lemon zest, that is where all the aromatic oils live
  • If you are using frozen green beans, pat them completely dry or they will steam instead of roast
