Description

Enjoy a healthy and flavorful dinner with perfectly roasted salmon fillets coated in a sweet and savory maple glaze, paired with crispy roasted Brussels sprouts. This easy sheet pan meal combines the natural richness of salmon with the caramelized goodness of maple syrup and a touch of soy sauce, making it a balanced dish perfect for weeknight dinners.


Ingredients

Salmon

  • 4 salmon fillets (4 oz each)
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt & pepper, to taste

Vegetables

  • 1 lb Brussels sprouts, halved


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400 °F (200 °C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for roasting the salmon and Brussels sprouts evenly.
  2. Prepare the maple glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, and olive oil until well combined. This glaze will add a perfect balance of sweetness and umami to the salmon.
  3. Brush salmon with glaze: Place the salmon fillets on a sheet pan and generously brush the maple glaze over each piece. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Add Brussels sprouts to pan: Arrange the halved Brussels sprouts around the salmon on the same sheet pan. Drizzle any remaining olive oil over the sprouts and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  5. Roast everything: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the Brussels sprouts are tender and caramelized.
  6. Serve: Optionally sprinkle sesame seeds over the salmon before serving for added texture and flavor. Plate the salmon alongside the roasted Brussels sprouts and enjoy your balanced, delicious meal.

Notes

  • Add a sprinkle of sesame seeds before serving to enhance flavor and presentation.
  • For extra crispiness, you can turn on the oven’s broiler for the last 2 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  • If you prefer a gluten-free version, substitute tamari for soy sauce.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated gently for up to 2 days.
