Ingredients

    1 pound, cut into 2 portions $15.99
  • Brussels Sprouts
    1 pound $3.32
  • Bartlett Pear
    1 $2.69
  • Lemon
    1 $0.89
  • Olive oil
    1 tablespoon
  • Diamond Crystal kosher salt
    3 1/2 teaspoons
  • Black pepper
    1/4 teaspoon
  • Dijon mustard
    2 teaspoons
  • Maple syrup
    2 teaspoons

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 425°F and line a large sheet pan with parchment.

  2. Trim and halve 1 pound Brussels sprouts. Toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons Diamond Crystal kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper; spread cut-side down on the sheet pan.

  3. Pat dry 1 pound coho salmon, cut into 2 portions, and season with 2 teaspoons Diamond Crystal kosher salt. Let stand for 10 minutes while the sprouts roast.

  4. Core 1 Bartlett pear and cut it into 8 wedges.

  5. Zest 1 lemon for 1 teaspoon zest. Squeeze one half for 1 tablespoon juice and cut the other half into 2 wedges. Whisk the zest and juice with 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard and 2 teaspoons maple syrup to make the glaze.

  6. Roast the sprouts for 16 minutes. Add the pear wedges and salmon to the pan, keeping the salmon skin-side down if it has skin. Brush the salmon with the glaze and roast for 12–15 minutes more, until its thickest part reaches 125°F.

  7. Rest the salmon for 2 minutes. Plate with the sprouts and roasted pear, and serve with the lemon wedges.

Drink pairing: A lightly chilled Pinot Noir complements the salmon and roasted pear without overpowering the glaze.
