Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. 2
    Rinse quinoa thoroughly under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa and vegetable broth (or water). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until all liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
  3. 3
    In a small bowl, whisk together all glaze ingredients: honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
  4. 4
    On the prepared baking sheet, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them in a single layer. Roast for 10 minutes.
  5. 5
    Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Push the Brussels sprouts to one side. Place the salmon fillets on the other side of the baking sheet. Brush the tops of the salmon generously with the honey mustard glaze.
  6. 6
    Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for another 12-18 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the Brussels sprouts are tender and slightly caramelized. Serve immediately with the cooked quinoa.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen Brussels sprouts?

Yes, you can. If using frozen, they may release more water, so ensure they are spread in a single layer and you might need to increase roasting time slightly to achieve caramelization.

How can I make the salmon extra crispy?

For crispier salmon skin (if using skin-on fillets), you can pan-sear them skin-side down in an oven-safe skillet before transferring to the oven with the Brussels sprouts, or finish under the broiler for a minute or two after baking.

What's the best way to store leftovers?

Store leftover salmon, Brussels sprouts, and quinoa separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Reheat gently to avoid overcooking the salmon.
