Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 12 ounces salmon fillets wild caught if possible
- 1 1/4 cups of water + 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 pound green beans rinsed and ends trimmed
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
Instructions
- Whisk together the water and tablespoon of kosher salt. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the water salt mixture over them so that the fillets are submerged in the liquid. Brine for 10 minutes then remove the salmon and pat dry with paper towels.
- Preheat oven to 425° F. and line a rimmed sheet pan with foil or spray the pan with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl whisk together the ingredients for the honey mustard sauce. Place the salmon fillets on the baking sheet and brush or rub them with some of the honey mustard sauce. Add the green beans to the bowl with the remaining honey mustard sauce and toss together until coated. Spread the green beans out on the baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake for 5 minutes then remove from the oven and stir the green beans around. Place the sheet pan back in the oven and bake for another 5-8 minutes or until the salmon is flaky and reads 125° F. on a thermometer and the green beans have slightly caramelized. Serve immediately.
Notes
*Brining the salmon is optional, but helps keep it moist as well as reduces the appearance of albumin.
