A quick and easy dinner featuring salmon fillets glazed with a sweet and tangy honey Dijon sauce, paired with crispy roasted green beans. Perfect for weeknights or family gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 ounces / 170g each), skin-on
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 12 ounces fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, garlic powder, and fresh lemon juice until smooth.
  3. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides lightly with salt and black pepper. Brush the honey Dijon glaze generously over the top of each fillet.
  4. Toss the trimmed green beans in olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes if using. Spread them in a single layer on the baking sheet, leaving space for the salmon.
  5. Arrange the salmon fillets skin-side down on the baking sheet next to the green beans, ensuring they are not crowded.
  6. Roast everything in the oven for 12-15 minutes until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the green beans are crispy and slightly blistered. The salmon’s internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
  7. Optional: For extra crispy skin and green beans, broil for the last 2-3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
  8. Remove from the oven and let the salmon rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
  9. Serve the salmon fillets with a generous heap of crispy green beans. Optionally, squeeze extra fresh lemon over the top.

Notes

Pat salmon dry before seasoning to ensure crispy skin. Use a thin, even coat of glaze to prevent burning. Roasting at high heat (425°F) is key for crisp green beans and tender salmon. Broil at the end for extra crispiness but watch closely. Do not overcrowd the pan to allow proper roasting. Leftovers keep well for up to 2 days and reheat best in the oven to maintain crispness.
