Ingredients
- 6 ounces salmon (2 fillets)
- 1/4 pound fresh green beans
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 2 lemon slices
Preparation
- Rinse and pat salmon fillets dry, leaving skin on. Wash and trim the green beans.
- Preheat the oven to 425° F. For easy clean up line a sheet pan with parchment paper or coat sheet with cooking spray. Place the fillets, skin-side down on the sheet pan.
- Chop the dill and stir into the mayonnaise.
- Spread the mayo-dill mixture evenly on top of both filets.
- Toss the green beans with olive oil and then arrange around the salmon fillets.
- Place the baking sheet on the middle rack and roast salmon for 14 to 16 minutes. Fish will be done when the flesh begins to flake easily with a fork.
- Garnish with lemon slices and fresh dill.
Helpful hints
- For additional seasoning add black pepper to the salmon and green beans.
- If fresh green beans are out of season substitute frozen green beans.
- Adjust the fish portion according to your dietary protein goal.
- Instead of using prepared mayonnaise you can easily make your own. In a blender (an emersion blender works well starting at the bottom and working upwards until thick and fluffy) combine 1 cold egg, 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Blend for 30 seconds or until the mixture begins to emulsify and look like mayo. After reaching the desired consistency, stir in the dill.
