Ingredients
- 4 pieces, 6 oz each salmon fillets
- 1 lb, halved Brussels sprouts
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 3, minced garlic cloves
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp maple syrup, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 1 minced garlic clove until smooth and set aside.
- Step 2: On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss 1 lb halved Brussels sprouts with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Spread them out evenly and roast for 15 minutes.
- Step 3: Remove the baking sheet from the oven, push Brussels sprouts to one side. Place 4 salmon fillets skin-side down on the other side. Brush each fillet generously with the maple glaze.
- Step 4: Return the pan to the oven and roast for an additional 12-15 minutes until salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and Brussels sprouts are tender and caramelized.
- Step 5: Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, then pour over the finished salmon and Brussels sprouts before serving.
