    Roasted Salmon with Citrus Vinaigrette

    This easy sheet pan roasted salmon with green beans and citrus vinaigrette is so delicious!  Salmon and green beans roast together and are tossed in the best ever citrus vinaigrette!   The vinaigrette turns simple ingredients into something amazing, you'll want to use it on everything!

    Bowl of lettuce topped with salmon and green beans.
    Citrus Olive Oil

    I originally made this salmon recipe back in August of 2009.  I specifically chose the recipe because I had returned from a shopping trip to Marshall's with a bottle of citrus olive oil. 

    The fancy food aisle at Marshall's is my happy place.  

    Since, then I've stopped buying store bought citrus oil and I make my own Lemon Infused Olive Oil.  I mean it's so simple and tastes so much fresher, why buy it? 

    Really, I can't urge you enough to go make lemon olive oil now and use it for this recipe.  

    Small bowls of honey, lemon zest, citrus olive oil, vinegar and green beans with a plate of uncooked salmon.

    Ingredients to Make This Roasted Salmon Recipe

    Let me begin by saying that this citrus vinaigrette is amazing.  I wish that it had it's own recipe on the blog, it's that good.  However, since I am remaking a post from 2009 and it included the citrus vinaigrette,  it's combined with the salmon and the green beans.   But you'll want to use it on everything after you try it! 

    So, let's talk about the 6 ingredients you need to make this:

    Green Beans - haricots verts are extra nice, but regular green beans work.  Trim the tops and tails.

    Honey - I use a local honey.

    Apple Cider Vinegar 

    Lemon Zest - since you are using the zest, organic is preferred. 

    Citrus Olive Oil - either store bought or homemade. 

    Salmon Fillets - about 5 ounces each.

    Step One - Make The Citrus Vinaigrette

    The first thing you need to do is make the citrus vinaigrette.  I made a double batch because I know how good it is and I always love having some in the fridge! 

    In a jar, combine the olive oil, honey, vinegar and lemon zest.  Shake to combine, add salt and pepper to taste. 

    Expert Tips:

    I've found the easiest way to mix a vinaigrette is to put the ingredients in a jar with a tight lid and shake to emulsify.  

    When using an ingredient like honey.  Measure out your olive oil first in the container then measure the honey.  The olive oil makes the honey slip right out! 

    Tray lined with parchment paper wit salmon and green beans.

    Step Two - Prepare the Salmon and Green Beans

    Preheat the oven to 425. 

    Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (always a good idea when a glaze has honey in it!)

    Lay the salmon fillets skin side down (if it has a skin) on the baking sheet.  Pour a little of the vinaigrette into a small bowl and brush on the salmon.

    In a bowl toss the green beans with a little bit of olive oil and salt and pepper and spread out on the other half of the baking sheet. 

    Roast for 14-16 minutes or until the salmon is cooked to your liking. 

    Bowl of lettuce topped with salmon and green beans.

    Step Three - Serve the Roasted Salmon

    We like to serve the salmon and green beans on a bowl of lettuce greens with a generous drizzle of the citrus vinaigrette.  If you're salmon had skin on it, be sure and remove it before placing it on the lettuce greens.  

    You can also serve it on it's own. 

    This roasted salmon recipe is so good and so easy!!  The citrus vinaigrette takes a simple baked salmon and turns it into something special.   Dinner in under 30 minutes! 

    This recipe was inspired by a recipe from Michael Chiarello that I tweaked some.

    Notes

      I don't eat fish, but I'll have to try a variation on that green bean preparation. I say variation, because I don't have access to citrus infused oils... your way sounds delicious.

      Joanne - the oils really do make a difference. They are lovely to have for quick simple meal.

      Carolina - Marshall's is just like TJ Maxx.

      Kat - It's some sort of fig jam, I don't know what kind. I have no idea what to do with it!!

      Amy - I do too, it's my favorite fish!

      Pam - it really does add a lot of flavor.

      Marjie - believe me, you are saving oodles of money by them not having one!

      Noble - thank you!

      Grace - it really is like a scavenger hunt because you have to search for the goodies.

      Judi - Oh! Thank you.

      I could eat salmon every day, I think. I love it both hot and, in the summer, cold, in salads. This recipe looks wonderful.

      This is a fabulous recipe - simple, easy and I know it is going to taste great because salmon and green beans are two of my favorite ingredients in the world.

      When you say Marshalls, do you mean the department store? I haven't been in one in years. Now I'm dying to go. Thanks for the tip.
