Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz / 170 g each), skin-on or skinless as you prefer
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced (or 1 teaspoon garlic powder)
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (optional)
  • Pinch of red chili flakes (optional)
  • 12 oz (340 g) fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • Toasted sesame seeds (optional garnish)
  • Chopped green onions (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, ginger, and red chili flakes if using.
  3. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Place them skin-side down on one side of the sheet pan.
  4. Spoon half of the marinade over the salmon fillets, coating them well. Let sit for about 5 minutes while prepping the green beans.
  5. Toss the trimmed green beans with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder if using. Spread them out in a single layer on the other half of the sheet pan.
  6. Roast the salmon and green beans in the oven for 12-15 minutes, until salmon flakes easily and green beans are tender-crisp.
  7. About 5 minutes before done, spoon the remaining marinade over the salmon to create a sticky glaze. Return to oven for the final minutes.
  8. Remove from oven and garnish with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

Pat salmon dry before marinating for better glaze adhesion and crispier edges. Avoid overcrowding the sheet pan to ensure proper caramelization. Toast sesame seeds before garnishing for extra flavor. Adjust roasting time for thicker fillets. Marinade can be made ahead and stored up to 2 days in the fridge.
