Description
A simple and healthy Salmon Brussels Sheet Pan recipe featuring tender roasted Brussels sprouts and perfectly baked salmon fillets, all cooked together for an easy, flavorful meal.
Ingredients
Vegetables
- 2 lbs Brussels sprouts, trimmed
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
Proteins
- 6-8 salmon fillets (3-4 oz each)
Seasonings and Oils
- 1 tbsp dried oregano
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 4 tbsp olive oil, divided
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 450°F. Grease a sheet pan to prevent sticking. Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves for the best texture.
- Toss Brussels Sprouts: Place the trimmed Brussels sprouts into a bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the Brussels sprouts are well coated.
- Roast Brussels Sprouts: Spread the Brussels sprouts evenly on the prepared sheet pan. Place them in the oven and bake for 14 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even roasting and browning.
- Prepare Salmon: While the Brussels sprouts roast, season the salmon fillets with salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Make space on the same sheet pan for the salmon fillets by pushing the Brussels sprouts to one side.
- Add Salmon and Bake: Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the salmon fillets and place them on the sheet pan. Bake everything together for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the Brussels sprouts are tender and caramelized.
Notes
- Ensure the Brussels sprouts are trimmed well to avoid bitterness.
- Adjust seasoning according to taste preferences.
- Use fresh salmon fillets for best flavor and texture.
- Cooking times may vary slightly depending on oven calibration and thickness of salmon fillets.
- For an extra crispy finish, broil the pan for 1-2 minutes at the end, watching carefully to avoid burning.
