Preheat the oven to 425°F. Halve and seed 1 lb delicata squash, then slice it into 1/2-inch crescents. On one half of a large rimmed baking sheet, toss the squash with 1 tbsp olive oil, 3/4 tsp Morton kosher salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Spread it in a single layer, leaving the other half of the sheet free.
-
Pat 1 lb salmon dry and cut it into 2 portions. Season with 1 1/4 tsp Morton kosher salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper; refrigerate while the squash begins roasting.
-
Trim 12 oz green beans.
-
Chop 2 tbsp parsley. Zest and juice 1 lemon, then whisk its zest and juice with the parsley and 2 tsp olive oil to make a dressing.
-
Roast the squash for 13–15 minutes, until it begins to brown.
-
Toss the green beans with 1 tbsp olive oil and 3/4 tsp Morton kosher salt. Spread them on the open half of the baking sheet, turn the squash, and roast both vegetables for another 10–12 minutes, until tender with browned edges.
-
As soon as the green beans go into the oven, heat 1 tsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the salmon skin-side down for about 6–8 minutes, until crisp. Flip and cook for about 2 minutes more, pulling it at 125°F. Rest for 3 minutes while the vegetables finish roasting.
-
Plate the hot salmon, squash, and green beans. Spoon the parsley-lemon dressing over everything.
