Beans are having a moment right now. And rightfully so, they’re packed with fiber and incredibly good for you. However, I am not obsessed with beans like some are. For me to want to eat beans they need to 1. taste amazing, and 2. have good texture.

So this dish is a roasted salmon with shallot-mustard topping, served atop super flavorful dilly beans! I use navy beans in this, as I think they have some of the best texture, but you could also use cannellini, butter beans, or whatever bean you prefer.

This is a super simple recipe that tastes and feels elevated. The shallot-mustard topping is tangy and punchy, and the dilly beans are herbaceous and bright. The rich fattiness from Atlantic salmon brings all these flavors together perfectly.

Before we get too far into this recipe, I want to acknowledge what is happening in Minnesota. It is beyond disturbing and should frighten all of us.
