This installment of cooking from my box is dedicated to my niece, Hannah, who asked for an easy delicious salmon recipe and a veggie side to accompany it. I got this recipe years ago from an episode of Jamie Oliver’s Naked Chef. I can’t find the exact link anymore, but this is a very close if not exact approximation of the recipe. I love it because not only delicious and easy, it all cooks on the same sheet pan!
Roasted Salmon with Green Beans and Cherry Tomatoes (serves 4)
4 6 oz (give or take) salmon filets
1 lb green beans, ends trimmed
1 pint cherry tomatoes
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 c pitted, chopped kalamata olives (omit if you don’t care for olives, or use any other olive you like)
2 T olive oil
salt and pepper
Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Sprinkle salmon with salt and pepper and lay filets down one side of a large sheet pan. Green beans, tomatoes, garlic, and olives with olive oil, and spread evenly down the other side of the pan. Sprinkle veggies with salt and pepper.
Roast salmon and veggies in the oven for 10-12 minutes, until salmon is cooked but still moist and vegetables are lightly charred.
