A quick and easy weeknight dinner featuring salmon fillets glazed with a sweet and tangy maple Dijon sauce, roasted alongside crispy Brussels sprouts for a balanced and flavorful meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Salmon fillets, skin-on, about 6 ounces (170g) each
  • Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved, about 1 pound (450g)
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh thyme or rosemary sprigs (optional)
  • Red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Position the oven rack in the middle.
  2. Rinse and trim the Brussels sprouts, remove yellow leaves, and slice each in half lengthwise.
  3. Toss Brussels sprouts in a mixing bowl with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and optional fresh thyme or rosemary.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons maple syrup, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 2 minced garlic cloves, and optional red pepper flakes.
  5. Lightly oil a rimmed baking sheet or line with parchment paper.
  6. Place salmon fillets skin-side down spaced apart on the baking sheet.
  7. Arrange Brussels sprouts around the salmon in a single layer, cut side down.
  8. Brush the maple Dijon glaze generously over the salmon fillets.
  9. Roast in the oven for 15 to 18 minutes until salmon flakes easily and Brussels sprouts are tender with crispy edges.
  10. Optional: For extra crispness, broil for the last 2 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  11. Remove from oven and let rest for 3 minutes.
  12. Serve immediately with a squeeze of fresh lemon.

Notes

Use skin-on salmon for moisture and crispiness. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure Brussels sprouts brown instead of steam. Whisk glaze ingredients thoroughly for even coating. Watch broiler step closely to prevent burning. Salmon is done when it flakes easily and is opaque inside. Prepping Brussels sprouts ahead saves time. Leftovers store well up to 2 days and reheat best in oven at 350°F for 10 minutes.
