Ingredients
For the Salmon & Beans:
- 4 6 oz salmon filets, skin on or skinless
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 12 oz French green beans haricots verts, trimmed
- 1 lime juiced
- Fine sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper
- 4 cups cooked rice white, brown, or jasmine, for serving
For the Ginger Scallion Sauce:
- 1/2 cup neutral high heat oil (avocado, grapeseed, or sunflower)
- 6 scallions thinly sliced (white/light green and dark green parts separated)
- 2 tablespoons finely minced fresh ginger
- 2 cloves garlic finely minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
For Serving:
- 1 lime cut into wedges
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Glaze Salmon: Place salmon filets on one side of the sheet. Whisk honey and 2 tsp soy sauce; brush over salmon. Season salmon with salt and pepper.
- Season Beans: On the other side of the sheet, toss green beans with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Roast: Bake for 10-14 minutes, until salmon flakes easily and reaches 135°F for medium. Drizzle lime juice over everything.
- Make Sauce: While salmon cooks, place white parts of scallions, ginger, and garlic in a heatproof bowl. Heat oil in a small saucepan until shimmering and tiny bubbles form (about 350°F). Carefully pour hot oil over aromatics; it will sizzle. Stir in 1 tbsp soy sauce and dark green scallions.
- Serve: Serve salmon and green beans over rice. Generously drizzle with ginger scallion sauce. Serve with lime wedges.
Notes
Pat salmon dry before glazing for best caramelization. Use a heatproof bowl for the sauce. For a complete meal prep, make the sauce up to 3 days ahead.
