Prep Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 30 minutes

Servings: 4

Skill Level: Easy

• 4 salmon fillets
• 1 lb green beans, trimmed
• 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (optional)

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the fillets and season with salt and pepper.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, honey, and minced garlic to create the tangy mustard glaze.
4. Brush the mustard glaze generously over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are well coated.
5. In a separate bowl, toss the green beans with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
6. Arrange the green beans on the baking sheet around the salmon fillets.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
8. Optional: Sprinkle the chopped fresh dill over the cooked salmon for an extra burst of flavor.
9. Serve the salmon and green beans immediately, enjoying the symphony of tangy and fresh flavors.

• If you’re new to cooking salmon, keep an eye on it after 15 minutes to ensure it doesn’t overcook.
• For a variation, try adding a splash of lemon juice over the salmon fillets before serving for an extra zing.
• If you don’t have fresh dill on hand, dried dill can be used as a substitute – just sprinkle a teaspoon over the salmon fillets before baking.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or a low oven until warmed through.

Ingredient Substitutions

If you don’t have green beans, asparagus or broccoli make great alternatives. Adjust the cooking time as needed to ensure they’re tender-crisp.

Pairings

This tangy salmon dish pairs wonderfully with a side of fluffy rice or quinoa. For drinks, a crisp white grape juice or sparkling water with a twist of lemon complements the flavors beautifully.
