How to Make ?
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Make the Maple Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, olive oil, garlic, and ground ginger (if using). Set aside.
- Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: Toss the halved Brussels sprouts in 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Cook the Brussels Sprouts: Roast the Brussels sprouts in the oven for about 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they begin to soften and brown slightly.
- Prepare the Salmon: While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, place the salmon fillets on another baking sheet. Brush them with the maple glaze and season with salt and pepper.
- Bake the Salmon: After the Brussels sprouts have roasted for 10 minutes, place the salmon in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Finish and Serve: Remove both the salmon and Brussels sprouts from the oven. Garnish the salmon with fresh parsley if desired. Serve the salmon with the roasted Brussels sprouts on the side, drizzling any leftover maple glaze over the dish.
