Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss 1 lb halved Brussels sprouts with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through until caramelized and tender.
- Step 2: While Brussels sprouts roast, whisk together 3 tbsp maple syrup and 2 tbsp Dijon mustard in a small bowl until smooth.
- Step 3: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Season 4 salmon fillets with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Place salmon skin-side down and sear for 4 minutes until edges are crispy.
- Step 4: Flip salmon and brush each fillet generously with the maple-mustard glaze. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until salmon is cooked through and glaze is sticky.
- Step 5: Serve salmon hot with roasted Brussels sprouts and lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
