Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

  • 1 small yellow onion, diced

  • 4 cloves garlic, chopped

  • 1 (15 ounce) can no-salt-added diced tomatoes

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, divided

  • ½ teaspoon salt, divided

  • 12 ounces green beans, stem ends trimmed (4 cups)

  • ¼ cup lemon juice

  • 1 pound salmon fillet with skin, cut into 4 portions

  • 1 tablespoon Baharat Spice Mix

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil; coat with cooking spray.

  2. Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion; cook, stirring often, until translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in garlic; cook for 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes, 1 Tbsp. dill, and 1/4 tsp. salt; bring to a boil over high heat. Stir in green beans. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the beans are tender, 10 to 15 minutes.

  3. Meanwhile, whisk lemon juice and the remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in a shallow bowl. Dip salmon in the lemon-oil mixture to coat well. Place the salmon, skin-side down, on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with spice mix and the remaining 1/4 tsp. salt. Roast the salmon until it is just opaque in the center, about 10 minutes.

  4. Divide the green bean mixture among 4 plates, add a piece of salmon, and sprinkle with the remaining 1 Tbsp. dill.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
