Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh gingerroot
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 salmon fillets (4 ounces each)
  • 1 medium lemon, thinly sliced
  • GREEN BEANS:
  • 3/4 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°. Mix first 7 ingredients.
  2. Place each salmon fillet on an 18x12-in. piece of heavy-duty foil; fold up edges of foil to create a rim around the fish. Spoon lemon juice mixture over salmon; top with lemon slices. Carefully fold foil around fish, sealing tightly.
  3. Place packets in a 15x10x1-in. pan. Bake until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork, 15-20 minutes. Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape.
  4. Meanwhile, place green beans, water and oil in a large skillet; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, 5 minutes. Stir in remaining ingredients; cook, uncovered, until beans are crisp-tender, stirring occasionally. Serve with salmon.
