Salmon and Stewed Green Beans

I haven't posted in a while because I've been living out of a suitcase at my mom's while my house is being renovated.  But the lack of a gourmet kitchen can't keep a good cook down, so I went to the grocery store and picked up a few things after I saw an interesting blog post of a salmon dish with a dill-horseradish sauce.  I prepared the salmon by rubbing it with olive oil, S&P and dried dill, then roasting it in the oven for about 11 minutes.  I paired it with green beans that I stewed down in a pot with a can of crushed tomatoes, chopped garlic and a dash of sugar.  Finally, I concocted the sauce by combining sour cream, prepared horseradish and more dried dill.  The salmon was perfectly roasted, and the green beans were tender with a hint of tang and sweetness from the tomatoes.  The star had to be the sauce, which was a cool contrast to the salmon, but brought a nice kick from the horseradish.
