One pan meals are the best during this busy time of the year. In just 20 minutes, you’ll have maple mustard salmon- tender, flaky salmon and crispy shaved brussels sprouts. See, quick meals for yourself don’t have to be sad.

How will this maple mustard salmon make your life easier?

Does cooking fish freak you out? Try the super easy, hands off cooking method of making it on a sheet pan. This maple and mustard glazed salmon is easy, quick, and uses ingredients you probably have on hand. Swap out the brussels sprouts for another veggie you have on hand. Roasted vegetables are bomb, that’s all. Or cook your salmon in parchment paper like in this Salmon in a Parchment Paper “Bag” recipe.

If you need more sheet pan dinners (or just one pan dinners) here are a few of my favorites: Chicken Bacon Sheet Pan Dinner, Baked Parchment Paper Salmon, Lemon Carbonara, Pan Fried Pork Chops with Apples, Pan Seared Pork Chops, Cajun Shrimp Foil Packet, Grilled Lamb Steak with Asparagus, Veggie Quesadilla, & an easy Microwave Egg Bowl.

What makes this maple mustard salmon with brussels sprouts so good?

  • Shredded brussels sprouts
  • Dijon mustard
  • Maple syrup
  • Olive oil
  • Salmon filet

How do I make maple mustard salmon?

two salmon filets with mustard sauce and brussels sprouts on a cookie sheet

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Dump 10 oz shaved brussels sprouts onto a lined cookie sheet. Toss in 1 tbsp of the maple syrup, 1 tbsp dijon mustard, and 1/2 tbsp olive oil. Move to sides of the cookie sheets. Place two 4 oz salmon filet on cookie sheet, brush remaining syrup, mustard, and oil (1 tbsp each maple syrup, oil, and 1 tsp mustard) on top of fish. 

Expert Tip: You can use approximate amounts since not all salmon filets are 4 oz, and you may have more/less brussels sprouts. You can also swap the brussels sprouts for other thinly sliced veggies.

Place in oven, cook for 14-15 minutes. Remove when done, fish should be tender and flaky. Serve immediately with fresh bread or potatoes if desired.

FAQ

What should I season my salmon with?

There are so many ways to season salmon, I like using sauces on mine. At least sprinkle salt and pepper over it. Lemon, mustard, BBQ sauce, soy sauce based sauces, and Italian seasonings are a few different seasonings I like on my salmon.

How do I keep my salmon from drying out?

Add some sort of fat on top of your protein to seal in the moisture. Dry fish or chicken or anything else is just the worst. I use a drizzle of olive oil, dijon mustard, and maple glaze for the salmon. It’s delicious, easy, and holds the moisture in.

What do you eat with salmon?

These brussels sprouts are great, but really any vegetable would be delicious with salmon. I particularly like green beans, sauteed kale, brussels sprouts, or salad with my salmon.

How can I repurpose this salmon?

  • Toss it with some pasta
  • Serve over your favorite whole grain to make it a grain bowl
  • Add extra veggies and lettuce to make it into a salad (double the maple mustard sauce to make a yummy dressing)

What can I make with leftover ingredients?

  • (salmon) Salmon with Peach & Tomato Salad & Salmon Baked in Parchment Paper.
  • (brussels sprouts) Potato and Brussels Sprouts Gratin, Chicken Bacon Sheet Pan Dinner, or Pan Fried Pork Chops with Apples.

    5 stars, for sure! I didn’t have Brussels sprouts this time so I cooked a mix of beets and radishes. They went into the oven about 1/2 hour before the salmon, and it worked perfectly! The maple mustard sauce was so good! I’m going to try other veggies in the future. Thank you for the dinner inspiration ๐Ÿ˜€
