Sheet-pan salmon and green beans
Salmon and green beans on one tray at 200°C, finished with lemon and a knob of butter. Twenty minutes, one tray, and the only real risk is leaving it in too long.

- 20 g butter rounded
Dietary labels are a guide, not a guarantee. If you have an allergy, read the ingredients yourself.
Method
- Heat the oven to 200°C and line a tray.
- Toss the green beans with olive oil and salt, and spread them over one side of the tray.
- Pat the salmon dry, set it skin-side down on the other side, and drizzle with oil and salt.
- Roast 12 to 15 minutes. The salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork and looks opaque.
- Squeeze lemon over the tray and drop a small knob of butter on each fillet to melt.
Notes
- Steffi tip. Thicker fillets need the full 15 minutes. The main risk is overcooking, so pull it as soon as it flakes.
- On the Masterbuilt, do both over charcoal instead. Salmon takes about 4 to 5 minutes per side over medium heat.
- Not to be confused with the sheet-pan salmon with sweet potato and broccoli already in the archive. That one is a four-portion meal-prep tray built on sweet potato, which is a starch, so it is not keto. This is the two-portion keto version: green beans only, no spice rub, lemon and butter at the end.
- Friday is fish day in this week, and it is the one rule nobody has ever argued about.
- Cook the third fillet if you have it. Cold salmon over greens is Saturday midday and it takes no work at all.
Good with
- Cauliflower rice and cauliflower mash
- Greek salad with sardines
- Lemon-sesame green beans
- Sheet-pan salmon, sweet potato, and broccoli
- Tuna and avocado salad
