Sheet Pan Lemony Salmon & Green Beans
Sheet Pan dinners are perfect for easy weeknights! This Sheet Pan Lemony Salmon & Green Beans is roasted to perfection with zucchini and lemon slices.
Sheet pan dinners are one of my favorite things to make when I’m in a pinch and low on time. They are extremely quick and easy, and the clean up is a breeze. I went with salmon and green beans for this one, but this is the type of dish that works with pretty much any protein and vegetables. If you are out of time to make an elaborate dinner when you get home from work, just throw whatever you have in the fridge onto a sheet pan and roast!
I love the combination of green beans and zucchini because of the differing textures, and they both go perfectly with soft buttery salmon. Top the whole pan with a bunch of lemon slices, and you will end up with the most incredible flavor! The roasted lemon flavor gets into everything and works so well with the garlic.
You can get one large salmon fillet and cut it into individual pieces yourself, or just have your fish monger do it for you. Having it already cut and ready to go will cut your prep time down by quite a bit, which means dinner will be on the table faster!
