Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Adjust rack to top position (for 4 servings, use top and middle positions). Wash and dry produce.
2. Trim green beans if needed. Toss in an oven-ready tray with a drizzle of oil, salt and pepper. (For 4 servings, divide green beans between two trays, using a drizzle of oil in each.)
3. In a small bowl, combine panko with a drizzle of oil (a large drizzle for 4 servings), salt and pepper. Set aside.
4. Pat salmon dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper. Drizzle skin sides with oil and rub to coat. Place salmon skin-side down in a separate oven-ready tray. (For 4 servings, divide between two trays.)
5. Spread tops of salmon evenly with Dijon mustard. Mound panko mixture on top, pressing firmly to adhere.
6. Place trays side by side on top rack (for 4 servings: salmon on top rack, green beans on middle rack). Bake until green beans are tender and salmon is cooked through, 10-15 minutes. (For 4 servings, swap rack positions halfway through.)
7. Meanwhile, in the same bowl used for panko, combine smoky mustard and mayonnaise. Stir in water 1 teaspoon at a time until the sauce reaches a drizzling consistency.
8. When salmon has 5 minutes left, halve the ciabatta and toast. Spread with half the garlic herb butter. Cut each half diagonally. (For 4 servings, halve each of the four ciabatta halves on a diagonal.)
9. Once green beans are done, carefully toss with remaining garlic herb butter.
10. Divide salmon, green beans and garlic bread between plates. Drizzle smoky mustard sauce over salmon and serve.
