Ingredients

?1 – 1 1/2 poundssalmon filet jointskin-on and boneless 500-600 g
?1 poundbaby potatoes450 g cut in halves or quarters depending on their size (the smaller you cut them, the quicker they will cook)
?12 ouncesgreen beans350 g trimmed
?1 tablespoonolive oil
?2 tablespoonsunsalted buttermelted
?2 clovesgarlicminced
?1/2 lemonjuiced
?1 teaspoondried herbsI used oregano basil, dill, and parsley
?1/2 teaspoonsalt
?1/4 teaspoonground black pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
Prepare the potatoes: place the halved/quartered baby potatoes on a rimmed sheet pan in a single layer. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper, and arrange the potatoes cut side down.
Roast the potatoes in the oven until fork-tender, about 15–20 minutes. (Alternatively, parboil the potatoes for 10–15 minutes, drain, then add them to the sheet pan in a single layer.)
While the potatoes cook, trim the ends from the green beans and pat the salmon dry with paper towels. Keep the salmon skin-on and boneless as specified.
Make the garlic butter sauce: in a small bowl whisk together 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, 2 cloves minced garlic, the juice of 1/2 a lemon, 1 teaspoon dried herbs, the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper until combined.
When the potatoes are fork-tender, remove the sheet pan from the oven. Move the potatoes to one side of the pan, place the salmon skin-side down in the center, and arrange the trimmed green beans around the salmon.
Pour the garlic butter sauce over the salmon and the green beans.
Return the sheet pan to the oven and bake for about 15 minutes more, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork and the green beans are tender to your liking.
Remove the sheet pan from the oven and let the salmon rest a couple of minutes before serving.
