Below you’ll learn more about what makes this recipe so special, why it’s perfect for busy weeknights, and how the ingredients come together to create something truly tasty.
Wild caught salmon fillets work very well in this recipe, as they hold up nicely when pan seared and have lots of healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Farm-raised salmon can also be used. When shopping, look for salmon fillets that are evenly sized so they cook at the same rate.
The honey soy glaze can be adjusted to taste. For a sweeter glaze, add more honey. For more saltiness, increase the soy sauce. Play around with garlic powder, sesame oil, rice vinegar, ginger, and other spices to customize the flavor profile.
Green beans are the veggie star here, but other quick cooking vegetables like asparagus, broccoli, or snap peas can easily be swapped in. When choosing green beans, look for slender and crisp beans without blemishes.

Can I use frozen salmon?
You can substitute frozen salmon. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and pat dry before baking as directed.
How long do leftovers last?
Leftover salmon and green beans will keep 3-4 days in the refrigerator. Salmon may dry out when reheating so mix with a sauce or veggie.
Can I meal prep this recipe?
Absolutely! Assemble the honey soy glaze and trim the green beans up to 2 days in advance. Store glaze separately. Cook the salmon and beans right before serving.

· Salmon Thickness: The cook time for the salmon will depend on its thickness. Thicker fillets will take longer to cook through.
· Don't Overcook: Salmon is best when cooked to medium doneness. The flesh should be slightly firm but flake easily with a fork.
· Cooking Method: This recipe offers oven-baked and pan-fried options. Choose your preferred method.
· Marinade: Marinating the salmon is optional, but it adds extra flavor.
· Spice Level: Sriracha is optional for a touch of heat. Adjust the amount to your preference.
· Green Beans: You can steam or blanch the green beans instead of pan-frying them, for a slightly healthier option.
