# What You'll Need:
→ Fish & Vegetables
01 - 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each), skin-on or skinless
02 - 1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed
→ Marinade & Seasoning
03 - 3 tbsp olive oil
04 - 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
05 - 2 tsp lemon zest
06 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
07 - 1 tsp dried oregano or 1 tbsp fresh, chopped
08 - 1/2 tsp salt
09 - 1/4 tsp black pepper
→ Garnish (optional)
10 - Lemon wedges
11 - Fresh parsley, chopped
# How-to Steps:
01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
02 - In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
03 - Place green beans on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with half of the marinade and toss to coat. Spread into an even layer.
04 - Arrange salmon fillets, skin-side down, on the other side of the baking sheet. Brush the tops of the fillets with the remaining marinade.
05 - Roast for 15–18 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the green beans are tender-crisp.
06 - Remove from oven. Garnish with lemon wedges and parsley if desired. Serve immediately.
# Expert Pointers:
01 -
- It&s your secret weapon for those nights when you crave something wholesome and delicious without hours in the kitchen—plus, minimal dishes
- This dish effortlessly marries tender, flaky salmon with perfectly crisp-tender green beans, all infused with sunshiny lemon and aromatic garlic.
02 -
- Lining your baking sheet with parchment paper isn&t optional here; it literally saves you scrubbing time and ensures nothing sticks to the pan.
- Giving your salmon and green beans enough space on the pan is key; if they&re too crowded, they&ll steam rather than roast, and we want those delicious crispy edges.
03 -
- The trick to perfectly cooked salmon is to never overbake it; pull it from the oven when it&s just opaque, as it will continue to cook slightly from residual heat.
- Using fresh lemon zest in the marinade is a game-changer; it provides a much more intense and aromatic citrus flavor than just the juice alone.
