Number Of Ingredients 13

For the salmon:
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 1/2-pound salmon fillet
For the green beans:
1 pound green beans, trimmed
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup chopped Marcona almonds

Steps:

Heat the oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil, then coat it lightly with cooking spray.
In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and lemon zest. Add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, then mix well.
Set the salmon on the prepared pan. Gently rub the oil-seasoning mixture over the salmon. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, toss the green beans with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, the garlic, and salt. Arrange the green beans around the salmon.
Roast for 25 minutes or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Sprinkle the green beans with the almonds. Drizzle the lemon juice over the salmon.
