Heat the oven to 425°F with a rack in the middle. Line a large rimmed sheet pan with parchment. Cut 8 ounces Yukon Gold potatoes into 1/2-inch pieces. Trim and halve 8 ounces Brussels sprouts. Core 1 large Fuji apple, about 8 ounces, and cut into 3/4-inch-thick wedges.
-
Pat 12 ounces sockeye salmon dry, check for pin bones, and cut into 2 portions. Season evenly with 3/4 teaspoon table salt and refrigerate while the vegetables begin roasting.
-
Toss the potatoes on the prepared pan with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon table salt. Spread out and roast for 10 minutes.
-
Toss the prepared Brussels sprouts and apple wedges in a bowl with 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon table salt. Add them to the pan, placing the sprouts cut-side down. Turn the potatoes and roast everything for another 10 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, stir together the maple-thyme glaze in a small bowl:
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Set aside for the salmon.
-
Move the vegetables and apples toward the edges of the pan, keeping them in a single layer. Place the seasoned salmon skin-side down in the center and spoon the maple-thyme glaze over it. Roast for 8–12 minutes, depending on thickness, until the salmon reaches 125°F in its thickest part and the potatoes are tender. Transfer the salmon to plates and rest for 3 minutes.
-
Divide the roasted potatoes, Brussels sprouts, and apples between the plates beside the salmon. Spoon any maple-thyme pan juices over the fish and serve.

Drink pairing: Pinot Noir complements the salmon’s richness and the sweet, browned apples without overwhelming either.
