Honey Garlic Salmon with Roasted Brussels Sprouts Recipe

Introduction

This Honey Garlic Salmon with Brussels Sprouts is a deliciously simple meal that combines tender, flaky salmon with crispy, caramelized Brussels sprouts. The savory-sweet honey garlic glaze adds a flavorful punch that’s sure to impress on any weeknight.

Ingredients

• 4 salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless)
• 1 pound Brussels sprouts (trimmed and halved)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and black pepper (to taste)
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the halved Brussels sprouts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes.
2. Step 2: While the Brussels sprouts roast, prepare the honey garlic sauce by combining honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Set aside.
3. Step 3: After 15 minutes, remove the baking sheet and push the Brussels sprouts to one side. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the empty side. Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the salmon and season with salt and pepper.
4. Step 4: Brush the honey garlic sauce generously over each salmon fillet. Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for another 12–15 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through and the Brussels sprouts are tender and caramelized.
5. Step 5: Remove from oven and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Spoon any extra glaze from the pan over the salmon and Brussels sprouts for added flavor.

Tips & Variations

• For extra crispiness, broil the salmon and Brussels sprouts for the last 2 minutes of cooking—watch closely to avoid burning.
• Swap out Brussels sprouts for asparagus or green beans if preferred.
• Add a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds or chopped fresh parsley before serving for extra texture and color.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the oven at 325°F (160°C) or in a skillet over low heat to avoid drying out the salmon. Brussels sprouts can be reheated in a microwave or skillet.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use frozen Brussels sprouts for this recipe?

Yes, but be sure to thaw and pat them dry before roasting to prevent excess moisture, which can affect the texture.

Is it necessary to use Dijon mustard in the sauce?

Dijon mustard adds a subtle tang and depth to the glaze, but if you don’t have it on hand, you can omit it or substitute with a teaspoon of whole-grain mustard or yellow mustard.

Salmon and Vegetables

• 4 salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless)
• 1 pound Brussels sprouts (trimmed and halved)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and black pepper (to taste)

Honey Garlic Sauce

• 3 tablespoons honey
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven and prepare baking sheet: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
2. Toss Brussels sprouts: In a large bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Spread them out in a single layer on one side of the prepared baking sheet.
3. Season the salmon: Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Brush both sides with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down (if skin-on) on the other side of the baking sheet.
4. Prepare honey garlic sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes until well combined.
5. Brush sauce: Generously brush the honey garlic sauce over the top of each salmon fillet and drizzle some over the Brussels sprouts for extra flavor.
6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and Brussels sprouts are tender and caramelized at the edges.
7. Serve: Remove from oven and spoon any remaining sauce from the baking sheet over the salmon and Brussels sprouts before serving. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

• You can substitute maple syrup or agave nectar for honey for a different sweetness profile.
• Adjust red pepper flakes to your preferred spice level or omit if you prefer no heat.
• Ensure salmon fillets are uniformly sized for even cooking.
• For extra crispiness, broil for the last 2 minutes of cooking but watch closely to prevent burning.
• Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated gently.
