Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Bring pot of salted water to a boil. Add green beans and blanch for 3 minutes, until just tender. Drain well.
- Cut four sheets of parchment paper, about 12 x 12 in each. Fold each sheet in half, then reopen. Season salmon filets with salt and black pepper on both sides.
- Arrange handful of green beans along center crease of each parchment sheet. Spoon 1 tablespoon pesto over beans and top with 3 lemon slices.
- Place salmon filet on top of lemons, then spread another pesto spoonful over fish.
- Fold parchment over salmon. Starting at one end, tightly fold and crimp edges to seal, twisting at final corner to secure. Make sure to fully seal packets.
- Place packets on baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Transfer packets to serving plates. Carefully cut small slit to release steam, then enjoy.
