Salmon Green Beans with Dijon Herb Sauce
Sheet-pan dinners are at their best when simple ingredients do the heavy lifting. Coating salmon fillets and fresh green beans in a brisk mixture of Dijon mustard, olive oil, and chopped dill allows the fish to stay tender while the vegetables roast alongside it. The mustard mellows slightly in the heat of the oven, creating a savory glaze that clings to the salmon and gives the crisp-tender beans plenty of flavor.
Why this one works
- Everything roasts together on one parchment-lined baking sheet for quick cleanup.
- The Dijon and fresh dill mixture creates a savory coating that keeps the fish moist.
- Preps in roughly ten minutes using simple pantry and produce staples.
- Green beans roast right alongside the fillets, absorbing seasoned pan juices.
What you’ll need
- 2 fillets (340g) salmon Choose fillets of similar thickness so they bake evenly within the same timeframe.
- 1 cup (150g) green beans, trimmed Trim the tough stem ends and keep the beans whole for even roasting.
- 2 tablespoons (30g) Dijon mustard Adds balanced acidity and body to form the base of the savory coating.
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) olive oil Helps bind the herb sauce and lightly coats the beans so they roast smoothly.
- 1 tablespoon (4g) fresh dill, chopped Brings a bright, aromatic herbal note that pairs naturally with baked seafood.

A few things worth knowing
- Spread the green beans out in a single layer so they roast rather than steam on the tray.
- Check doneness at the 15-minute mark by pressing the thickest section of the fillet; it should flake cleanly with a fork.
- Lining the pan with parchment paper prevents the mustard glaze from sticking and simplifies cleanup.
Ways to make it your own
- Serve alongside fresh lemon wedges to squeeze over the fillets right before eating.
- Garnish the finished baking sheet with an extra sprinkle of freshly chopped dill.
Serving suggestions
Pair this sheet-pan meal with steamed rice, roasted baby potatoes, or a simple garden salad. Slices of warm crusty bread also work nicely to catch any seasoned pan juices left on the plate.
Storage & reheating
Place leftover salmon and green beans into an airtight container and store in the refrigerator. Reheat gently in a low-temperature oven or covered skillet until just warmed through to keep the fish from drying out.

Quick recipe answers
How can I tell when the salmon is done baking?+
The salmon is ready when the flesh turns opaque and flakes apart easily when gently pressed with a fork.
Can I substitute dried dill for fresh dill?+
Fresh dill delivers the best flavor here, but if using dried dill, reduce the amount significantly since dried herbs are more concentrated.
With tender fish, crisp-tender green beans, and a punchy dill-mustard glaze, this sheet-pan dinner delivers a balanced, flavorful meal with minimal effort.
