Ingredients

5 salmon fillets
2 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon dried dill
0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon black pepper
1.5 cup white rice
3 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon butter
2 clove garlic (minced)
1 pound green beans (trimmed)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon olive oil, lemon juice, dried dill, garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Place salmon on the prepared baking sheet and pour the lemon-dill mixture evenly over each fillet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
While salmon bakes, prepare the garlic rice. In a medium saucepan, combine the 1 1/2 cups white rice, chicken broth (or water), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender. Once cooked, stir in the butter and minced garlic, fluff with a fork.
Steam the trimmed green beans. You can do this in a microwave (with a splash of water in a covered bowl for 5-7 minutes), on the stovetop, or in a steamer basket until tender-crisp. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Serve the baked lemon dill salmon immediately with the garlic rice and steamed green beans.

Notes

For quicker rice, you can use microwaveable pre-cooked rice pouches. Adjust baking time for salmon based on thickness; aim for an internal temperature of 145°F.
