Baking Sheet with Parchment Paper.

Small Bowl

Measuring Spoons

Basting Brush

Ingredients

4 (6-ounce) wild Alaskan salmon fillets
2 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 lemon thinly sliced
1 pound fresh green beans
1 teaspoon olive oil
salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place salmon fillets skin-side down on the baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dried parsley.
Brush the mixture evenly over each salmon fillet.
Top each piece of salmon with two thin lemon slices.
Toss green beans with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then arrange them beside the salmon on the same baking sheet.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the green beans are tender-crisp.
Remove from oven and serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

Tips and Tricks

Even Cooking - Place salmon fillets similar in size on the baking sheet so they cook at the same rate.

Crispier Green Beans - Spread the green beans in a single layer to help them roast instead of steam.

Extra Lemon Flavor - Add a light squeeze of fresh lemon juice right before serving.

Storing and Reheating

Storing - Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheat on Stovetop - Place a serving in a nonstick skillet with a small splash of water. Warm over low heat until heated through.
