Elise Jesse’s Maple Dijon Salmon

Total Time Prep/Total Time: 30 min.
Yield 4 servings
Looking for a quick, healthy, flavorful dinner with minimal cleanup? This maple Dijon salmon (or "pink steak" as my kids call it) with green beans is your perfect one-pan solution. Tender salmon fillets are topped with a sweet and tangy maple-Dijon glaze and baked alongside crisp-tender green beans, making for a delicious meal that requires less than 15 minutes of hands-on time. It’s my go-to for busy weeknights when I want something tasty, I don’t want to clean up a big mess, and I want to avoid the dinner plate struggle with the kids. —Elise Jesse, Cincinnati, Ohio

Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 pound fresh green beans
  • Olive oil
  • 1-1/2 cups water
  • 1 cup uncooked basmati rice
  • MAPLE DIJON GLAZE:
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • Coarsely ground pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°. Season salmon with salt and pepper. Place salmon on one half of a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet.
  2. In a large bowl, toss green beans with enough oil to coat the beans and salt and pepper, to taste. Place on the other side of the baking sheet.
  3. Combine glaze ingredients in a small bowl. Brush over salmon filets.
  4. Bake until salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145°, 12-15 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, rinse rice until water runs clear. Add to a small pot with 1-1/2 cups water. Add salt to taste. Over medium-high heat, bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 15 minutes. Remove lid, continue cooking 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Serve with salmon and beans.
