Ingredients
🍽️ Servings: 4 • 🔥 Calories/Serving: —
For the Baked Herb-Roasted Salmon:
4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each) (Meat-Inclusive)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Zest of 1 lemon
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Garlic Green Beans:
1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a hint of heat)
Salt and pepper to taste
Steps
Step 1
Prepare the Baked Herb-Roasted Salmon: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped thyme, chopped rosemary, chopped parsley, lemon zest, salt, and pepper to create the herb-roasted salmon marinade.
Step 2
Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the herb marinade over them, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let the salmon marinate for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 3
Bake the Salmon: Transfer the marinated salmon fillets to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 12-15 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and easily flakes with a fork.
Step 4
Prepare the Garlic Green Beans: While the salmon is baking, blanch the green beans in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until they are tender yet crisp. Drain and set aside.
Step 5
Sauté the Garlic Green Beans: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using) and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant. Add the blanched green beans to the skillet and toss them with the garlic-infused oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes until the green beans are fully coated and heated through.
Step 6
Serve and Enjoy: Plate the Baked Herb-Roasted Salmon alongside the savory Garlic Green Beans. Enjoy!
Note:
Customize the herb marinade with your favorite fresh herbs, such as basil or dill, for added variety.
Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the green beans before serving for a zesty twist.
