Maple Glazed Salmon Sheet Pan Dinner

This maple glazed salmon is a crowd-pleaser that tastes like it came from a fancy restaurant, but you're making it on a simple sheet pan! The sweet and savory glaze caramelizes beautifully in the oven, and the roasted vegetables soak up all those delicious flavors. It's become our go-to when we want something special without the fuss.

Ingredients
  

  • 4 salmon fillets 6 oz each, skin on or off
  • 1 lb Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved
  • 3 medium carrots peeled and cut into sticks
  • 1 medium red onion cut into wedges
  • 3 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp olive oil divided
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger grated (or ½ tsp ground ginger)
  • ¾ tsp salt divided
  • ½ tsp black pepper divided
  • Fresh thyme or parsley for garnish

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, soy sauce, 1 tbsp olive oil, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, ginger, and ¼ tsp each of salt and pepper.
  3. Toss the Brussels sprouts, carrots, and red onion with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, ½ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp pepper. Spread them out on the sheet pan.
  4. Roast the vegetables for 10 minutes while you prepare the salmon.
  5. Remove the pan from the oven and push vegetables to the sides. Place salmon fillets in the center and brush generously with the maple glaze.
  6. Return to the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily. Brush with remaining glaze halfway through cooking.
  7. Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley and serve immediately. The glaze should be beautifully caramelized and glossy!
