Heat the oven to 425°F with a rack in the middle. Trim and halve 12 oz Brussels sprouts, quartering any very large ones. Cut 12 oz Yukon Gold potatoes into 1/2-inch pieces. Core 1 medium Fuji apple and cut it into 1/2-inch wedges, leaving the skin on. Keep the apple separate.
-
On a large rimmed sheet pan, toss the sprouts and potatoes with the following:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 1/8 teaspoons fine sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Spread in one layer with the sprouts cut-side down. Roast for 20 minutes.
-
While the vegetables roast, pat 12 oz coho salmon dry and divide into 2 portions if needed. Season evenly with 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper. Refrigerate while you prepare the glaze.
-
Whisk together the glaze in a small bowl:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup
Set aside half in a separate bowl for serving; use the other half only for brushing the salmon.
-
Turn the potatoes and sprouts, add the apple wedges, and make two spaces for the salmon. Place the salmon skin-side down in those spaces and brush with its portion of glaze. Roast for 10–14 minutes, until the salmon reaches 125°F in the thickest part and the potatoes are tender. Transfer the salmon to a plate and rest for 3 minutes; leave the vegetables and apples in the oven during the rest if they need additional browning.
-
Divide the roasted vegetables and apples between two plates and add a salmon portion to each. Spoon the reserved serving glaze over the salmon and serve.
