03 - 2 tablespoons olive oil

# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
02 - In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper.
03 - Place green beans on one side of the sheet pan. Drizzle with half the marinade and toss to coat evenly.
04 - Arrange salmon fillets on the other side of the pan and brush the tops evenly with remaining marinade.
05 - Roast in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until salmon is cooked through (internal temperature 125 to 135°F) and green beans are tender-crisp.
06 - Remove from oven and serve salmon and green beans with lemon wedges and chopped parsley if desired.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- Everything cooks on one pan, so cleanup is just a quick scrub and youre done.
- The lemon and garlic soak into the beans while the salmon stays tender and flaky, and it all tastes like you spent an hour cooking.
02 -
- Salmon keeps cooking after you pull it from the oven, so take it out when its just barely opaque in the center or it will dry out.
- If your beans are thick, give them a five minute head start in the oven before adding the salmon so everything finishes together.
03 -
- If you want a little char on the beans, switch the oven to broil for the last two minutes and watch it closely.
- A pastry brush makes it easy to coat the salmon evenly, but your fingers work just fine too.
