Ingredients

  • 4 (5–6 ounce) skin-on salmon fillets
  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • Lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
  2. Step 2: To make the teriyaki sauce, combine soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat.
  3. Step 3: Mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl, then whisk this into the simmering sauce. Cook for 1–2 minutes until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. Step 4: Toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange them cut side down on one half of the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Step 5: Place the salmon fillets skin side down on the other half of the baking sheet. Brush lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  6. Step 6: Brush about half of the teriyaki sauce over the salmon fillets. Roast everything in the oven for 15–18 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through and the Brussels sprouts are tender and golden.
  7. Step 7: Remove the sheet from the oven and brush the remaining teriyaki sauce onto the salmon. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
  8. Step 8: Serve immediately with lime wedges for a bright finishing touch.

Tips & Variations

  • If you prefer a sweeter glaze, add a little more honey to the teriyaki sauce before cooking.
  • For extra crisp Brussels sprouts, stir them halfway through roasting.
  • Swap salmon for chicken breasts or firm tofu if desired, adjusting cooking time accordingly.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce for a spicy kick.

Storage

Store leftover salmon and Brussels sprouts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave until warmed through, being careful not to overcook the salmon to maintain its moisture.

How to Serve

A white plate holds a cooked salmon fillet with a glossy dark brown sauce on top, sprinkled with white sesame seeds and chopped green scallions.

In front of the salmon are two bright green lime wedges with textured skin. A silver fork rests behind the food on the plate, all set on a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use frozen Brussels sprouts for this recipe?

Yes, but thaw them first and pat dry to remove excess moisture. This helps them roast properly and get crispy.

How do I know when the salmon is cooked?

The salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork and has an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Cooking times may vary slightly depending on thickness.

Ingredients

Scale

Salmon and Vegetables

  • 4 (5–6 ounce) skin-on salmon fillets
  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Teriyaki Sauce

  • 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch + 2 tablespoons water (slurry)

Garnishes

  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • Lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare Teriyaki Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, minced garlic, and freshly grated ginger. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Slowly whisk in the cornstarch and water slurry and continue whisking until the sauce thickens, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Roast Brussels Sprouts: On the prepared baking sheet, toss Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange them cut side down on one half of the baking sheet to ensure they caramelize nicely when roasted.
  4. Prepare Salmon: Place the salmon fillets skin side down on the other half of the baking sheet. Lightly brush the fillets with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  5. Initial Glaze and Roast: Brush approximately half of the prepared teriyaki sauce over the salmon fillets, coating them evenly. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the Brussels sprouts are tender and golden brown.
  6. Finishing Touches: Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Brush the remaining teriyaki sauce over the cooked salmon fillets for an extra burst of flavor. Garnish with sesame seeds and thinly sliced green onions. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
