Roasting vegetables like brussels sprouts, scallions and jalapeño next to salmon fillets as they cook makes for a crunchy, sweet and spicy side that requires very little work on your part. When the salmon and vegetables are done, spoon a lively sauce made of citrus juice (any you choose), rice vinegar and soy sauce over everything. If you like, serve with rice, whole grains, soba or udon — there’s plenty of sauce to go around.

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat oven to 400 degrees, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, toss brussels sprouts, scallions and jalapeño with the 2 tablespoons oil to coat. Season with salt and pepper, then spread out on the prepared baking sheet.

  2. Step 2

    Pat the salmon fillets dry, then season with salt and pepper and nestle them, skin side down, among the brussels sprouts. Roast, stirring the brussels sprouts occasionally, until the brussels sprouts are tender and the salmon is cooked through, 12 to 14 minutes. (The salmon is done when a knife slides through it easily and the fish flakes, or when an instant-read thermometer reaches 120 degrees.)

  3. Step 3

    While the salmon’s roasting, stir together the citrus juice, rice vinegar, soy sauce and 2 tablespoons water. (If you find it too puckery, add a little honey or more water.) Serve the sauce alongside the salmon and brussels sprouts for drizzling and dipping.

Very simple and delicious. Used a food processor to shred the brussels sprouts. Only 1 tablespoon of oil; half toasted sesame oil and half olive oil. Added two minced cloves of garlic to the sprouts. Roasting time was accurate; salmon was juicy and delicious. I didn't bother stirring the sprouts....turned out fine.

This was great! We make sheet pan salmon a lot, so this was a good way to switch it up. For me, the cooking time for the salmon was too long and it was too short for the brussels. I roasted the brussels for 12 mins and then added the salmon for about 8 mins, which made for crispier veggies and a more medium rare salmon. Definitely need honey in the sauce if using lime! (Not sure about the other citrus).

Had some bok choy on hand from the farm box, so I swapped that in for the brussels sprouts, which worked great.

We served it with chili crisp which added more flavor.

Definitely cook Brussels sprouts for 10 minutes before adding salmon. Delicious and delicious and easy to make

Disappointing after reading the reviews. Quite bland. This didn’t make the cook again list.
