Preparation

Preheat the oven to 400˚F. Make 4 sheets of aluminum foil about 30 inches long. Fold the foil in half widthwise (into almost a square) so it’s extra sturdy.
Put the potatoes and garlic in a microwaveable bowl, stirring to combine. Microwave, covered, on 100% power (high) for 1½ to 3 minutes, or until about halfway tender. Transfer to a large bowl. Stir in the green beans, oil, salt and pepper.
Place a fourth of the potato mixture in the center of each foil square, arranging the green beans facing the same direction. Place the fish on the potato mixture. Top with 2 lemon slices. Repeat with the remaining 3 salmon fillets and vegetables.
Wrap the foil loosely, but seal the edges tightly. Place packets on a large baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, then carefully open one packet. If the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, carefully open the remaining packets and serve. If the fish isn’t cooked enough, close the open packet and bake all the packets for an additional 3 to 5 minutes.
