with Mashed Potatoes & Green Bean Salad
- Milk
- Wheat
- Fish
Good ole Old Bay. This tried-and-true spice blend seasons everything from meat and chicken to veggies, and even popcorn! This time it’s mixed with buttery panko to make a smoky, crispy crust for roasted salmon. On the side, creamy mashed potatoes keep it classic, while a lemony green bean and tomato salad brighten things up. It’s a fresh take on old-fashioned faves—Old Bay in a new way!

Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce (except green beans). • Dice potatoes into 1⁄2-inch pieces. • Place potatoes in a medium pot with enough salted water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil; cook until tender, 15-20 minutes. Reserve 1⁄2 cup potato cooking liquid (3⁄4 cup for 4 servings), then drain; return potatoes to pot.
• Meanwhile, quarter lemon. Halve, peel, and thinly slice shallot. Place shallot in a small bowl; stir in a squeeze of lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Halve tomatoes lengthwise.
• In a second small bowl, combine two packets sour cream and 1 tsp Old Bay Seasoning (four packets sour cream and 2 tsp Old Bay for 4 servings). Add water 1 tsp at a time until sauce reaches a drizzling consistency.
• Place 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in a medium microwave- safe bowl. Microwave until melted, 30 seconds. Let cool slightly; stir in panko and 1 tsp Old Bay Seasoning (2 tsp for 4). • Pat salmon* dry with paper towels; place, skin sides down, on a lightly oiled baking sheet. (TIP: For easy cleanup, line baking sheet with aluminum foil first.) Brush tops with a thin layer of sauce (save the rest for serving). Mound with panko mixture, pressing firmly to adhere (no need to coat the undersides). Wash and dry bowl. • Roast on top rack until crust is golden brown and salmon is cooked through, 8-10 minutes.
• While salmon roasts, pierce green bean bag with a fork; place bag on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave until tender, 1-2 minutes. Carefully open bag; rinse green beans with cold water until cooled. Pat dry with paper towels; trim if necessary. • In bowl used for panko, whisk together mustard, 1 TBSP olive oil (2 TBSP for 4 servings), a big squeeze of lemon juice, and a pinch of sugar until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. • Add green beans, tomatoes, and as much shallot as you like (draining first) to bowl with dressing. Toss to coat; add another squeeze of lemon juice to taste. Season with salt and pepper if desired.
• Mash drained potatoes with remaining sour cream and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) until smooth and creamy, adding splashes of reserved potato cooking liquid as needed. Season generously with salt and pepper. • Divide salmon, green bean salad, and mashed potatoes between plates. Drizzle sauce over salmon. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges on the side.

Reviews from our home cooks
Being from Maryland, anything with Old Bay is going to stand out with me. This recipe was surprisingly better than I expected. The pieces of salmon were larger than I expected and very fresh. The contrast in flavors between the mild spiciness of the Old Bay and the sweet/tanginess of the vegetable medley was very arousing to our pallet. This will be a re-order.
The green bean salad was a great new way to enjoy fresh green beans. Really liked this vinaigrette combo. Potatoes were good. Unfortunately we found the salmon too fishy for our taste. Ordered it to try something new. Not big fish fans in our house. We like the Old Bay coating but it was enough to make us salmon lovers.
Loved the crunchiness of the salmon. Delicious sauce. I like green bean salad; husband did not. Good portion of food. Don't know why this is extra cost - other salmon dinners of same size do NOT charge extra.
This was easy to prepare and very tasty. I especially liked the green bean salad. I find it hard to think of interesting ways to prepare green beans, but this salad was perfect.
The instructions don't generate a good mashed potato and the green beans salad doesn't work well. These bring it down on a potentially good meal. Cut green beans shorter. Maybe oven bake them. More liquids in potatoes.
I loved the mashed potatoes super delicious and the vegetables but the only thing I didn't like was the panko I found it to be too salty for my tastes on the fish. I feel like it would've tasted better without the panko
Fabulous sauce and salmon texture. Had doubts about the salad, but it was great.
The sauce with the Salmon was excellent, can't believe how easy this meal was to cook!
One of the best meals I've ever had!! The salmon and green beans were AWESOME!!
Too salty and I didn't even add extra salt. The green bean salad cut the salt. It was good👍
