Lemon-Paprika Roasted Salmon

This vibrant lemon and smoked paprika roasted salmon is a fantastic choice for a nutritious midweek meal. The combination of citrus zest and earthy spice creates a deeply savoury crust on the fish, while the addition of crunchy Marcona almonds adds a sophisticated texture to the vegetables. It is a colourful, balanced dish that brings together bold Mediterranean flavours with very little effort.

As a heart-healthy main course, this recipe relies on omega-rich salmon and fresh green beans for a light yet satisfying dinner. Cooking everything on a single baking tray keeps preparation simple and ensures the juices from the fish season the greens beautifully. Serve it as it is for a low-carbohydrate lunch, or pair it with some steamed new potatoes for a more substantial evening meal.

How to make Lemon-Paprika Roasted Salmon

Heat the oven to 204°C. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil, then coat it lightly with cooking spray.

In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and lemon zest. Add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, then mix well.

Set the salmon on the prepared pan. Gently rub the oil-seasoning mixture over the salmon. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, toss the green beans with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, the garlic, and salt. Arrange the green beans around the salmon.
