Ingredients

1 lemon, halved

1/2 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt

3/4 teaspoon paprika

2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil

3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

3/4 teaspoon dried oregano

Pinch of red pepper flakes

1 1-pound bag frozen baby lima beans

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

4 5-ounce skinless center-cut salmon fillets

Directions

  1. Slice 1 lemon half into 4 thin rounds and set aside. Grate the zest of the other lemon half and set aside; squeeze some of the juice into a bowl and mix in the yogurt and 1/4 teaspoon paprika. Preheat the broiler. Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic, oregano and red pepper flakes and cook until the garlic is golden, about 2 minutes. Add the lima beans, 1 1/2 cups water and the lemon zest; partially cover the pan, bring to a simmer and cook until the beans are tender, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and stir in the parsley, 1 tablespoon of the yogurt mixture and the remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil. Meanwhile, mix the remaining 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste in a small bowl. Sprinkle all over the salmon; arrange on a foil-lined baking sheet and top each fillet with a lemon slice. Broil until just cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Serve with the lima beans and top with the yogurt mixture.

Delicious and easy! My only substitutions, I diced and rendered some pancetta in the pan for my Lima beans (next level deliciousness!) and I added only a little stock to them after they had been cooking for about ten minutes as the liquid from them being frozen evaporated. No water needed. Very simple and easy dish for entertaining or a quick weeknight meal. This is a salmon go-to meal.
