Sheet Pan Salmon and Green Beans (Ten Dollar Meal)
This is an easy meal that costs less than $10 to make!
It feeds 4 people and is WW friendly. You can check out more of my $10 meals here.
The Ingredients
I do most of my grocery shopping at Kroger. I’ll break down what I bought and how much it cost me.
Salmon: The salmon I bought was $6.99 for 20 oz. It was frozen but included instructions for a quick thaw, or you could leave it in the fridge overnight to thaw.
Green Beans: I spent $1.19 on the green beans. It’s perfect for a 0 point, inexpensive side dish.
Rice: I bought long grain rice for $1.19. It’s inexpensive and I can use it for multiple meals.
Some of the “pantry staples” I used were seasonings and cooking spray.
To season the salmon, I used garlic powder, smoked paprika, dry mustard, salt, and pepper.
If you don’t have all of the same seasonings, you can use whatever you have on hand.
This dinner is only 2 points! All of the points came from the rice, the salmon and green beans are 0 points.

How to Make Sheet Pan Salmon and Green Beans
Besides being budget friendly and low in points, this recipe is incredibly easy to make.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, smoked paprika, dry mustard, salt, and pepper.
Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray, or use parchment paper or a splat mat.
Add the salmon to the baking sheet, then the green beans.
Spray the salmon and green beans with cooking spray, then add the seasonings.
Bake at 400 degrees F. for 10-12 minutes or until the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.
The green beans will be tender/crisp. If you like them cooked more, boil them for 3 minutes before putting them in the oven.
Serving Suggestions
If you want to make this a zero point meal, you can omit the rice.
Looking to make it more filling? Instead of rice, you can serve it with a baked potato.
