Savory Salmon & Roasted Green Beans

Our grocery store has had the best wild sockeye salmon recently and we've been eating this dinner once a week. My father-in-law gave us a jar of Urban Accents Fisherman's Wharf seafood seasoning, and we use it on both the salmon and the green beans. 



This is my favorite meal to cook on swimming lesson nights because we get home pretty much right at dinner time so I don't have much time to cook. To make it as easy as possible, I buy the bags of pre-washed green beans that already have the ends removed. It takes me less than 5 minutes to prep everything and then 20 minutes later, it's ready to come out of the oven. We've been loving putting fresh squeezed lemon juice on both the salmon and the green beans - the perfect complement to both!
