A quick and easy recipe featuring tender salmon glazed with a sweet maple sauce paired with crispy roasted Brussels sprouts. Perfect for busy weeknights or casual dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets, skin-on if possible
  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts (about 450 grams), trimmed and halved
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup (60 ml)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Red pepper flakes (optional), a pinch

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Trim the stem ends of Brussels sprouts, remove any yellow or damaged leaves, and cut them in half lengthwise. Toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread cut-side down on a lined baking sheet.
  3. Roast Brussels sprouts for 20 minutes, turning once halfway through.
  4. While sprouts roast, whisk together maple syrup, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes (if using) in a small bowl until smooth.
  5. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Lightly brush both sides with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  6. After Brussels sprouts have roasted for 20 minutes, push them to one side of the baking sheet. Place salmon fillets skin-side down on the other side and brush with half of the maple glaze.
  7. Return baking sheet to oven and roast for another 12-15 minutes. About 5 minutes before done, brush salmon with remaining glaze and watch carefully to avoid burning.
  8. Remove from oven and let salmon rest for a few minutes to redistribute juices.
  9. Serve salmon alongside roasted Brussels sprouts. Optionally, squeeze extra lemon juice over the top.

Notes

Use skin-on salmon for crispier texture and moisture retention. Brush glaze near the end of cooking to prevent burning. Pat salmon dry before oiling for better glaze adhesion. Roasting Brussels sprouts cut-side down helps caramelize edges. Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to keep sprouts crispy. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for 2 days; reheat gently to avoid drying out salmon.
