FOIL WRAPPED SALMON

1 lb fresh or frozen skinless salmon
2 Tbsp honey
1 tsp bottled minced garlic
1 tsp finely shredded lemon peel
¼ tsp cracked black pepper
1 16-oz. pkg. frozen whole green beans
¼ cup sliced almonds, toasted

Thaw fish, if frozen. Rinse fish; pat dry with paper towels. Preheat oven to 350*F. Cut salmon into 4-serving-size pieces, if necessary; set aside. In a small bowl combine honey, garlic, lemon peel, and cracked black pepper; set aside.

Tear off four 24-inch pieces of 18-inch-wide heavy foil. Fold each in half to make four 18x12-inch pieces. Evenly divide green beans among the four pieces of foil, placing beans in the center of each piece. Place 1 piece of salmon on top of each portion of green beans. Spoon the honey mixture over each piece of salmon. Bring together 2 opposite edges of foil and seal with a double fold. Fold remaining ends to completely enclose the food, allowing space for steam to build. Place the foil packets in a single layer on a baking sheet.

Bake the packets for 35 to 40 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Open packets slowly to allow steam to escape. Transfer the salmon, green beans, and any of the sauce to individual dinner plates. Sprinkle the salmon with the almonds. If desired, serve with lemon wedges.
