Lemon Dill Roasted Salmon with Green Beans and Rice

Let’s make it

1. 1

   Salmon

   Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

2. 2

   Salmon

   In a small bowl, combine lemon juice, chopped fresh dill, and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Lay the salmon fillet on the prepared baking sheet, skin side down. Brush the lemon dill mixture evenly over the salmon, and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

3. 3

   Salmon

   Place the salmon in the preheated oven and roast for about 18-20 minutes, or until the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) at the thickest part, and flakes easily with a fork.

4. 4

   Rice

   While salmon is roasting, rinse the white rice under cold water until water runs clear. Combine rinsed rice and 360 milliliters water in a medium saucepan with a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

5. 5

   Rice

   Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer the rice for about 15 minutes, or until all water is absorbed and rice is tender. Remove from heat and let it rest covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.

6. 6

   Green Beans

   While the rice cooks, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, taking care not to burn it.

7. 7

   Green Beans

   Add trimmed green beans to the skillet. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Sauté for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until green beans are tender-crisp and bright green.

8. 8

   Serve the roasted salmon alongside the garlic sautéed green beans and fluffy white rice. Garnish with additional fresh dill or lemon wedges if desired. Enjoy your balanced, flavorful dinner!
