Equipment
- Baking sheet
- Mixing bowl
- Whisk
- Aluminum foil (optional)
Ingredients
- 4 fillets salmon 6 ounces each | 170 grams each
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp fresh dill chopped
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 pound green beans trimmed
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil for easy cleanup, if desired.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, garlic powder, chopped dill, salt, and pepper to create the honey mustard glaze.
- Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down. Brush the honey mustard glaze generously over the top of each fillet.
- Toss the trimmed green beans with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper, then arrange them around the salmon on the baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the green beans are tender-crisp.
- Check the salmon at the 15-minute mark to prevent overcooking. The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
- Once cooked, remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the salmon and green beans to rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
- Serve the honey mustard baked salmon and green beans hot, garnished with additional fresh dill if desired.
Notes
For an even more Mediterranean twist, consider adding a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese over the salmon during the last few minutes of baking.
