High Protein
This High Protein Sheet Pan Salmon & Green Beans is a great option when you want something healthy and homemade but don’t want a ton of cleanup.
To make this healthy dinner you will need salmon, lemon, garlic, green beans and a single pan.
The salmon turns out tender and flakes apart easily. Green beans keep a bit of crunch, which I love. Lemon brightens everything up, while garlic and parsley give just enough flavor without stealing the show.
It’s quick enough for a busy night, yet honestly, it’s nice enough to serve when you want to impress just a little.
No endless ingredient list or complicated steps here. Everything hits the oven together, so there’s less mess and hardly any dishes.
If you’re cooking for a crowd or want leftovers, just double up.
I like to line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper because it makes cleanup a breeze. A small bowl and a basting brush help spread the seasoning evenly, but honestly, you could wing it with a spoon if you had to.
