Salmon with Herb Butter and Lemon Pasta!

Tonight I am going to be making Salmon with herb butter and lemon pasta! The salmon is roasted and slathered with a delicious mixture of butter, Dijon mustard, and dill! The pasta is tossed with lemon zest, onion and garlic. It is so light and delicious! And of course I am adding my green beans to the pasta for that extra kick of flavor! This dish is taken from two different recipes, the salmon being from Martha Stewart's cookbook Dinner at Home and the lemon pasta is adapted from Ina Garten's Lemon Pasta recipe! Enjoy!
