Way back when, a thousand or so years ago, Europeans believed that dill warded away witches and defended against spells. That was a long time ago; no need to resort to hocus-pocus to enjoy the aromatic flavor of dill. The herb is paired, as it so often is, with salmon; specifically a stupendous dill crema. This dish is delightful, and as a bonus, it'll keep you from being turned into a toad! What, we said no need to resort to hocus-pocus. We just want to. Tip: Line 'em up! The best way to remove the ends of green beans is to line them up evenly, then remove them with one cut.

1 Prepare the Ingredients
Trim ends off green beans. Stem and mince dill. Zest and halve lemon. Cut one half into wedges and juice the other half. Mince garlic. Pat salmon fillets dry, and season flesh side with ½ tsp. salt and a pinch of pepper.

2 Start the Green Beans
Toss green beans with garlic, 2 tsp. olive oil, ¼ tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper on prepared baking sheet. Massage oil into green beans. Spread into a single layer and roast in hot oven until lightly browned, 10-12 minutes. Remove from oven. Green beans will finish cooking in a later step. While green beans roast, cook salmon.

Flip salmon, and place pan in hot oven. Roast until salmon reaches a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 7-10 minutes. While salmon roasts, finish green beans.
