Honey Garlic Salmon with Brussels
Description
This recipe prepares a whole salmon filet seasoned with a mixture of garlic, soy sauce, and honey, which creates a sweet-savory glaze during roasting. Brussels sprouts are trimmed into smaller pieces for quicker cooking and are coated in half of the glaze to enhance their flavor and promote caramelization as they roast. The salmon is brushed with the remaining glaze for a glossy finish.
The roasting process at 425°F cooks the salmon until it flakes easily, while the Brussels sprouts develop tender centers and slightly crisp, caramelized outer layers. Freshly cracked black pepper on top adds subtle spice. After cooking, herbs like basil, oregano, or chives are sprinkled on the dish, and a lemon spritz provides a fresh acidity to balance the richness.
Serving the salmon sliced with the roasted Brussels sprouts together offers a colorful plate with complementary textures and flavors. The sauce remaining on the pan can be used as extra glaze. This recipe is a balanced way to combine protein and vegetables with a harmonious glaze that unites the elements.
Ingredients
- 4 garlic minced or pressed or grated, cloves
- 1/4 cup soy sauce low-sodium
- 1/3 cup honey
- black pepper freshly cracked
- 1 salmon filet about 1 1/2 inches thick, 2 pound
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts cut in half or even quartered
- lemon wedges, for spritzing
- herbs like basil, oregano, chives for topping, fresh
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or foil. Make sure your brussels sprouts are in small pieces so they roast quickly! I like to remove the stems from mine and cut them into quarters.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic, soy sauce and honey. Place the salmon filet in the center of the sheet.
- Place the brussels in the bowl and toss them with half of the honey garlic mixture. Spread the brussels around the salmon. Brush the remaining honey garlic mixture over the salmon. It's okay if you have some left - you can use it to brush on once the salmon is finished! I like to add some freshly cracked pepper on top t00.
- Roast the salmon and brussels for 15 minutes, until the salmon easily flakes with a fork and the brussels begin to caramelize. Remove and slice the salmon into pieces. Serve immediately with a sprinkling of herbs, a spritz of lemon and extra sauce!
