Ingredients

  1. ½ pound baby red and yellow potatoes, or to taste
  2. 1 cup fresh green beans, trimmed, or to taste
  3. 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  4. 2 (6 ounce) salmon fillets
  5. 1 clove garlic, crushed
  6. 1 sprig chopped fresh dill
  7. ½ lemon, sliced
  8. ½ lemon, juiced
  9. ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  10. ⅓ teaspoon coarse salt
  11. 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  12. 1 ½ tablespoons capers, roughly chopped
  13. 1 lemon, juiced
  14. ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  15. ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  2. Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add potatoes and green beans, cover, and steam until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain.
  3. Brush the shiny side of 2 large pieces of aluminum foil with 1 teaspoon olive oil each. Place salmon skin-side down in the center. Brush remaining olive oil and garlic over salmon. Sprinkle dill on top. Divide lemon slices over salmon; squeeze 1/2 lemon on top. Season with 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 1/3 teaspoon salt.
  4. Cover salmon with 2 pieces of aluminum foil, shiny-side down. Roll aluminum foil inwards on all sides to create a pouch. Transfer pouches to a baking sheet.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven until salmon flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 12 minutes.
  6. Mix mayonnaise and capers together in a small bowl to make a tartar sauce. Stir in juice from 1 lemon, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  7. Serve steamed potatoes, green beans, and tartar sauce alongside salmon.
  8. Substitute 2 finely chopped dill pickles or 2 1/2 teaspoons green relish for the capers if desired. If using relish, mix in some chopped dill.

Very flavorful and easy.

Delicious!! I followed the recipe to a T, soooo good!! I felt like it was a little undercooked after the 14 mins – so I pan-fried it for a couple more. (I may just be a wuss when it comes to my food! Haha). Hubby loved it, too! Thank you!

Very tasty! I found this recipe in time to make supper. I didn’t have a lemon, lemon juice or fresh dill, so I substituted 10 drops of lemon essential oil and dried dill. I’ll plan ahead next time, so my family and I can fully enjoy the recipe.

Easy and delicious, this is a perfect meal. I didn’t use the tartar sauce though. The salmon and veggies are so tasty on their own. Thank you for the recipe.
