Instructions
- Prep: Heat oven to 425°F. Line a sheet pan with foil or parchment for easy cleanup.
- Roast sprouts: Toss Brussels sprouts with 1 tbsp neutral/olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread cut-side down on the sheet pan. Roast 15 minutes.
- Make glaze: In a small bowl, mix miso, soy sauce, honey, vinegar/lemon, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic. If thick, loosen with 1–2 tsp warm water.
- Add salmon: Push sprouts to one side of the pan. Place salmon on the other side, skin-side down if it has skin. Brush generously with the miso-ginger glaze.
- Roast + broil: Roast 8–10 minutes more (until salmon is nearly done). Switch to broil for 1–2 minutes to caramelize the top—watch closely.
- Finish sprouts: Toss sprouts with a small drizzle of sesame oil (optional) and sesame seeds.
- Serve: Plate salmon with Brussels sprouts. Spoon any extra glaze from the pan over salmon; top with optional sliced green onion.
