# What You'll Need:
→ Fish & Vegetables
01 - 4 salmon fillets (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 - 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
08 - 1 tsp dried oregano or thyme
09 - 1 tsp smoked paprika
→ Garnish
10 - Lemon wedges
11 - Fresh parsley, chopped
# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large rimmed 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 until well combined.
03 - Place green beans on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with half the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Spread in a single layer.
04 - Arrange salmon fillets on the other side of the baking 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 salmon flakes easily with a fork and green beans are tender yet crisp.
06 - Remove from oven. Garnish salmon and green beans with fresh parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- Everything cooks on one pan, meaning less cleanup and more time to relax after dinner
- The salmon stays juicy while the green beans get those perfect roasted edges that make vegetables actually exciting to eat
02 -
- Cold salmon going into a hot oven can cook unevenly, so letting it sit at room temperature for just 10 minutes makes a huge difference
- Crowding the pan steams the green beans instead of roasting them, so give everything some breathing room on the sheet
03 -
- If your salmon fillets vary in thickness, tuck the thin ends under themselves so everything cooks evenly
- Parchment paper creates a slightly more delicate finish while foil gives you better browning on the vegetables
