Ingredients

• Fish & Protein
  • 4 (6 oz / 170 g) salmon fillets, skin-on or skinless
• Vegetables
  • 1 lb (450 g) baby potatoes, halved
  • 12 oz (340 g) fresh green beans, trimmed
• Marinade & Seasoning
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • ½ tsp salt, plus more to taste
  • ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
• Garnish (optional)
  • 1 lemon, sliced into rounds
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

1.

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.

2.

In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.

3.

Add the halved potatoes to the bowl and toss to coat. Spread the potatoes onto the sheet pan in a single layer. Roast for 12 minutes.

4.

While potatoes are roasting, add the green beans to the bowl with any remaining marinade and toss to coat.

5.

After 12 minutes, remove the sheet pan from the oven. Push potatoes to one side and add the green beans and salmon fillets to the pan. Brush salmon with any leftover marinade. Top salmon with lemon slices if desired.

6.

Return pan to oven and roast for 13–15 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 145°F/63°C), potatoes are tender, and green beans are crisp-tender.

7.

Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Ensure your potatoes are evenly halved to promote consistent roasting. Toss vegetables well in the marinade to maximize flavor absorption. Using parchment paper or foil not only simplifies cleanup but also prevents sticking. You can test salmon doneness using a fork; it should flake easily when fully cooked.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Swap the green beans for asparagus or broccoli if preferred. To add a smoky dimension, sprinkle smoked paprika or chili flakes into the marinade. For a more herbaceous flavor, fresh herbs like dill or tarragon can be added just before serving.

Serviervorschläge

This dish pairs beautifully with a crisp Sauvignon Blanc or a sparkling water infused with a slice of fresh lemon. Serve it alongside crusty gluten-free bread or a light mixed green salad for a complete meal.
