Heads Up:
Heads Up! - Looking for a way to cut the calories here? Use light mayonnaise, not low-fat or nonfat, and pass on browning the pine nuts in butter. Toast them in the oven or stovetop in a small skillet instead. And if you don't have pine nuts, use slivered almonds. You probably won't be saving yourself many calories, but you will be saving yourself shopping time.

Here's How to Make It in 20 Minutes:
Before You Start:
Preheat the oven to 450F to roast the salmon.
Step 1: roast the creamy glazed salmon fillets
Olive oil or nonstick vegetable cooking spray
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or parsley
1/4 cup mayonnaise, regular or light
1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, plus 1 whole lemon, for serving
Salt and pepper to taste
4 salmon fillets, skin on (about 6 ounces each)
1. Preheat the oven to 450F. Line the broiler pan with foil. Lightly mist the foil with olive oil or nonstick vegetable cooking spray.
2. Chop enough chives or fresh parsley to measure 2 tablespoons and put in a small bowl. Add the mayonnaise, horseradish, mustard, lemon juice, and salt and pepper and stir to combine.
3. Arrange the 4 salmon fillets on the foil-covered broiler pan, skin side down. Roast for 6 to 8 minutes. Spread the mayonnaise glaze over the fillets. Turn the oven to broil. Place the broiler pan 6 inches from the heat. Broil the fillets for 2 minutes, until the glaze is golden brown and bubbly.
Step 2: cook the green beans with browned-in-butter pine nuts
1 package (about 16 ounces) frozen French-style green beans or small whole green beans
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup pine nuts
Salt and pepper to taste
1. In a large saucepan, cook the green beans according to the directions on the package, just until crisp-tender. Drain and return to the pan.
2. Meanwhile, in a small heavy skillet, heat the butter until bubbling. Add the pine nuts and cook over medium heat, stirring often, until lightly toasted and the butter is a rich golden brown. Add to the beans, season with salt and pepper, and toss to combine. Keep warm, covered.
Step 3: heat the breadsticks
1 package premade breadsticks
Heat the breadsticks in a toaster oven at the temperature and for the time suggested on the package. Transfer to a napkin-lined bread basket, cover to keep warm, and place on the table.
Step 4: serve
1. If desired, remove the lime ice from the freezer to soften slightly while you have dinner.
2. Arrange the green beans on each side of 4 dinner plates; place a salmon fillet in the center. Slice the lemon and garnish each serving with 1 wedge.
3. When ready for dessert, scoop the lime ice into small bowls and garnish each with fresh berries of choice.

"Don't overcook the salmon - use the "Canadian rule" for doneness: about 10 minutes of cooking time per inch of fish at its thickest point."
