A Perfect Spring Dinner
Salsa verde and creamy avocado come together in a vibrant green dressing that instantly perks up any salad—especially this one, where tender salmon takes the lead. Roasted green beans, juicy grape tomatoes, and a fragrant spring‑herb mix build a fresh, colorful base, while the quick microwave‑steamed salmon keeps things effortless on busy weeknights. Drizzled with that bright, velvety dressing, every bite feels clean, satisfying, and full of lively flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 (12 oz) pkg trimmed fresh green beans
- 5 tbsp olive oil divided
- 1 avocado
- ½ cup jarred salsa verde
- 1 lemon
- 4 (4 oz) salmon fillets
- 1 pint grape tomatoes

Steps
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss green beans with 1 tbsp oil, salt, and pepper. Add to a baking sheet and roast 20–25 min., until golden brown, stirring once halfway through.
- Meanwhile, into food processor or blender, scoop the flesh of avocado. Add salsa verde, remaining ¼ cup olive oil, salt, and pepper. Pulse until smooth.
- Slice lemon and arrange slices on bottom of a microwave-safe baking dish. Top with salmon fillets skin-side down. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and microwave on high 3–4 min., until fish is fully cooked. Let stand, covered, 2 min. Discard salmon skins and lemon slices.
