Ingredients

• 1 salmon fillet (skinless)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 lemon (sliced)
• 0.5 teaspoon dried dill
• 1 package instant rice
• 1 cup green beans
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a small baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
2. Place salmon fillet on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon dried dill. Top with lemon slices.
3. Bake salmon for 12 to 15 minutes, or until cooked through and easily flakes with a fork.
4. While salmon bakes, cook instant rice according to package directions (microwave or stovetop).
5. Steam frozen green beans: Place 1 cup green beans in a microwave-safe bowl with 1 to 2 tablespoons water. Cover with a plate or microwave-safe lid and microwave on high for 3 to 5 minutes, until tender-crisp. Drain any excess water. Toss with remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
6. Serve baked salmon immediately with cooked instant rice and steamed green beans.

Notes

Ensure you don't overcook the salmon to keep it moist and flaky.
