Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Wash and dry produce. Cut potatoes into ½-inch-thick wedges. Zest and quarter the lemon.
- On a baking sheet, toss potato wedges with a drizzle of olive oil, half the fry seasoning, salt and pepper. Roast on top rack for 10 minutes.
- Trim green beans if needed. After 10 minutes, remove sheet from oven. Toss green beans on the other side with olive oil, salt and pepper. Return to top rack and roast until veggies are browned and tender, 12-15 minutes more. Toss roasted green beans with lemon zest, salt and pepper to taste.
- While veggies roast, pat salmon dry with paper towels. Season with remaining fry seasoning, salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add salmon skin-side down and cook until crispy, 5-7 minutes. Flip and cook until opaque and cooked through, 1-2 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and wipe out the pan.
- Return the pan to medium heat. Add honey Dijon dressing, 2 tablespoons water and a squeeze of lemon juice. Simmer, stirring, until thickened, 1-2 minutes. Turn off heat and stir in 1 tablespoon butter until melted. Season with salt and pepper.
- Divide salmon, potatoes and green beans among plates. Spoon sauce over salmon. Serve with remaining lemon wedges.
Recipe Tips
For extra crispy salmon skin, make sure the fillets are patted very dry before seasoning.
If you prefer your green beans more tender, roast them for a few extra minutes.
Use a fish spatula to flip the salmon easily without breaking it.
