Easy Salmon Potatoes and Green Beans in parchment is a favorite dinner for those nights where I just don't have time in the kitchen.
We found this recipe works well with either green beans or asparagus and is easy to prepare in under 5 minutes. Perfect for busy nights in our house filled with basketball practices, homework and holiday activities or a healthy delicious lunch.
Easy Salmon Potatoes and Green Beans is elegant enough for last minute company for the holidays or an easy date night in and healthy but quick enough for any night of the week. Dinner is served in a packet resembling a present for a delicious surprise when unfolded.
The layers of salmon, potatoes, and green beans combine juices while baking for an amazing aromatic package of flavor.
I enjoy giving an option of green beans or asparagus to ensure even the pickiest eater enjoys every morsel of their meal.
Dinner starts out with Bumble Bee SuperFresh® Salmon With Garlicky Black Pepper & Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Carefully slice potato in 1/4" slices and place in the middle of parchment baking pouch barely overlapping.
Season with a generous pinch of Salt, Pepper and Italian Seasoning.

Bumble Bee SuperFresh® smells and tastes amazing. It has no fishy smell.

That means it's fresh tasting, and fresh smelling.
Bumble Bee SuperFresh® offers unparalleled quality and has nothing to hide under heavy breading, sauces or a long list of unpronounceable ingredients. Find more meal planning inspiration and where to buy at Bumble Bee SuperFresh®.

ReplyDeleteThis meal looks so delicious. I would love to have a plate like that for dinner!
ReplyDeleteLove this idea! How simple and delicious!
ReplyDeleteLove this - such a nice weeknight meal! And so healthy - I've never cooked potatoes this way and I am really loving this idea. We eat salmon every week, so I will be on the lookout for Bumble Bee.
ReplyDeleteI need to make these up and freeze them so my 91 year old mother can just pop them in the oven and bake when she needs a dinner how can I do that
ReplyDeleteHi! If you're going to refreeze these I would cook the potatoes fully and cool them before reassembling so the frozen potatoes just need to heat through with the salmon. I don't know how well lemon freezes so you might have to try a trial run to see if the lemon slices flavor changes with freezing. You could always use a little additional lemon seasoning instead of fresh lemon if it's an issue. Please let me know if you have any more questions! -Serena
