Ingredients
  

  • For the Salmon:
  • 2–4 salmon fillets (6 oz each), skin-on or skinless
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • For the Balsamic Glaze:
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • For the Brussels Sprouts:
  • 12 oz Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Roast the Brussels Sprouts : Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss halved Brussels sprouts with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 15–20 minutes, tossing halfway, until crispy and caramelized.
  • Step 2: Make the Balsamic Glaze : In a small saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic. Simmer over medium heat for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
  • Step 3: Cook the Salmon : Option 1 – Pan-Seared: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season salmon with salt and pepper. Cook skin-side down for 4–5 minutes, then flip and cook an additional 3–4 minutes until salmon flakes easily. Option 2 – Oven-Roasted: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place salmon on a parchment-lined baking sheet, season with salt and pepper. Roast for 12–15 minutes until cooked through.
  • Step 4: Glaze the Salmon : Brush the balsamic glaze over the salmon fillets just before serving. Optionally drizzle extra glaze over roasted Brussels sprouts for added flavor.
