Instructions
- Preheat & Prep: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Arrange: Place the salmon fillets (skin-side down), green beans, and carrots in a single layer. Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil and season the entire tray with salt and pepper.
- Whisk the Glaze: In a small glass bowl, combine the soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, honey, ginger, garlic, and green onions. Whisk until the honey is fully incorporated.
- Glaze: Generously spoon the ginger-soy mixture over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are thoroughly coated.
- Bake & Broil: Roast for 10 minutes. Switch the oven to the broiler setting and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the glaze is slightly caramelized. Watch closely to prevent burning.

Professional Notes
Storage: Transfer leftovers to a glass, airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. For best results, reheat in a 325°F (160°C) oven for 10-15 minutes to preserve moisture levels.
Freezing: While fresh is ideal, this dish can be frozen for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating. Note that the texture of the green beans may soften slightly after freezing.
