Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
Step 2
Wash and trim the green beans, then pat them dry. Place them on the baking sheet and toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Step 3
Spread the green beans in a single layer and roast for approximately 10 minutes to give them a head start before adding the salmon.
Step 4
Meanwhile, prepare the honey mustard glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, and dried thyme until smooth.
Step 5
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Rub them with 1 tablespoon olive oil, then season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Step 6
Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Carefully move the green beans toward the sides, leaving enough space in the center for the salmon fillets.
Step 7
Place the salmon on the baking sheet, skin-side down if using skin-on fillets. Spoon the honey mustard glaze evenly over the top of each fillet.
Step 8
Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for approximately 12–15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the salmon. Stir the green beans carefully if needed for even roasting.
Step 9
Check the thickest part of each salmon fillet using a food thermometer. Continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). The green beans should be tender with lightly browned edges.
Step 10
Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges.
Cook’s Notes
Choose salmon fillets of similar thickness so they cook evenly.
For extra flavor, use a combination of Dijon mustard and whole-grain mustard. Adjust the honey according to your preferred sweetness.
Always check salmon doneness with a food thermometer. The recommended safe internal temperature is 145°F (63°C).
Give the green beans a short head start in the oven because they generally need more cooking time than the salmon.
Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet. Use two pans if necessary to allow the vegetables to roast rather than steam.
Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours in an airtight container at 40°F (4°C) or below. Enjoy within 3–4 days and reheat thoroughly before serving.
For a complete dinner, serve with steamed rice, quinoa, roasted potatoes, or a fresh green salad.
