Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss 1 lb halved Brussels sprouts with 2 tbsp olive oil, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1/2 tsp sea salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper in a mixing bowl until evenly coated. Spread them on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and caramelized on the edges.
  2. Step 2: While the Brussels sprouts roast, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pat dry 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each) and season both sides with 1/2 tsp sea salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Place fillets skin-side down in the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden.
  3. Step 3: Flip the salmon fillets and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is opaque throughout.
  4. Step 4: Serve each salmon fillet alongside a generous portion of the garlic roasted Brussels sprouts, garnished with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
