    12 ounces, cut into 2 portions $14.99
  • Fresh Brussels Sprouts
    12 ounces $2.99
  • Yukon Gold Potatoes
    12 ounces $1.29
  • Olive oil
    2 tablespoons
  • Fine sea salt
    1 7/8 teaspoons
  • Black pepper
    1/4 teaspoon
  • Dried thyme
    1/2 teaspoon
  • Dijon mustard
    1 tablespoon
  • Maple syrup
    2 teaspoons
  • Apple cider vinegar
    2 teaspoons
  • Fresh diced garlic
    1 teaspoon $3.49

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 425°F with a rack in the middle. Line a large rimmed sheet pan with parchment. Scrub 12 ounces Yukon Gold potatoes and cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Trim 12 ounces Brussels sprouts and halve them, quartering any especially large sprouts.

  2. Pat 12 ounces coho salmon dry, cut into 2 portions, and season the flesh evenly with 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt. Refrigerate while the vegetables begin roasting.

  3. On the sheet pan, toss the prepared potatoes and Brussels sprouts with:

    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 1 1/8 teaspoons fine sea salt
    • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
    • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

    Spread into a single layer, placing the sprouts cut-side down.

  4. Roast the vegetables for 20 minutes, turning the potatoes halfway through.

  5. Meanwhile, stir together the maple-mustard glaze:

    • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
    • 2 teaspoons maple syrup
    • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
    • 1 teaspoon fresh diced garlic

    Set aside until the salmon goes into the oven.

  6. Stir the vegetables and make two spaces for the salmon. Add the salmon skin-side down, if skin-on, and spread the maple-mustard glaze over the flesh. Roast for 8–12 minutes, until the salmon reaches 125°F in the thickest part and the vegetables are browned and tender. Transfer the salmon to a plate to rest for 3 minutes; if needed, let the vegetables finish roasting during that rest.

  7. Divide the roasted potatoes and Brussels sprouts between two plates. Add a salmon portion to each and spoon any glaze and juices from the resting plate over the fish.

Drink pairing: A lightly oaked Chardonnay complements the rich salmon, tangy glaze, and caramelized vegetables.
