This recipe was originally featured on EatingWell.

Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 1/4 lb salmon, skinned and portioned
• 3 Tbsp olive oil, divided
• 1 Tbsp minced garlic
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
• 2 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1/2 tsp ground black pepper, divided
• 12 oz thin green beans
• 1 small lemon, zested and cut into wedges
• 2 Tbsp pine nuts
• 4 servings brown rice, cooked
• 2 Tbsp water

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Brush salmon with 1 Tbsp oil and place on prepared baking sheet. Mash garlic and salt together to form paste (to the best of your ability). Combine a scant tsp of the garlic paste in a small bowl with the mayonnaise, mustard, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Spread the mixture evenly on top of the fish.
3. Roast the salmon until it flakes easily with a fork in the thickest part. This is will about 6-8 minutes per inch of thickness.
4. Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 Tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add green beans, lemon zest, pine nuts, the remaining garlic paste, and 1/4 tsp pepper. Cook, stirring, until the beans are just tender. Reduce heat to medium. Add rice, water, and cook, stirring until hot, a few, 2-3 minutes more.
5. Serve salmon over rice and green beans with lemon wedge.
