03of 17Ginger-Tahini Oven-Baked Salmon & VegetablesThe tahini sauce does double duty in this healthy salmon recipe, serving as a glaze for the fish and also as a drizzle for the entire dish at the end of cooking. The green beans are cooked just slightly in this recipe, to still be crisp. If you like your green beans tenderer, look for thinner beans or haricot verts in the grocery store; they’ll cook more quickly. This sheet-pan dinner recipe is not only delicious–it also comes together with just 25 minutes of active prep time, and there’s only one pan to clean up afterwards!View Recipe
