We love this bright and herby salmon dish (halibut works great too!) served with an herby twist on our classic rice pilaf alongside fancy green beans. A simple, delicious dinner, perfect for weeknight entertaining!
SHOPPING LIST:
Salmon or Halibut (6-8 oz)
K&M Everything Compound Butter
1 Lemon
K&M Classic Rice Pilaf
1 Shallot
Dill (1 bunch)
K&M Fancy Green Beans
K&M Chili Salt
Toasted Almonds
K&M Basil Parmesan Aioli
PANTRY ITEMS:
Salt & Pepper
Olive Oil
Parchment Paper
PREP:
1) Preheat oven to 400ºF and line a baking sheet, large enough for the salmon, with parchment paper. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and season generously with salt (it should taste like the sea!).
DILL RICE PILAF:
2) Prepare rice pilaf according to the package, using the shallot. Just before serving, stir in the minced dill.
SALMON or HALIBUT:
3) Thinly slice the lemon into rounds, removing large seeds.
4) Place salmon (or halibut) on the parchment-lined baking sheet, skin side down, and season with about 1 tsp kosher salt per filet. Top each filet with a spoonful of everything compound butter and 2-3 thinly sliced lemon rounds.
5) Bake until the fish flakes easily with a fork (about 12-15 minutes).
FANCY GREEN BEANS:
6) Right before the salmon is done, add green beans to the large pot of boiling water and cook until tender-crisp (about 3-5 minutes). Immediately transfer to a serving bowl using tongs or a slotted spoon, leaving behind as much water as possible, and toss with compound butter to coat.
7) Top with toasted almonds and chili salt to taste.
TO SERVE:
8) Serve everything family style, including a small dish of the basil parmesan aioli or herby green sauce on the side. Enjoy!
