Ingredients

  • Fresh Coho Salmon Fillet
    12 ounces, cut into 2 equal portions $14.99
  • Brussels sprouts
    3/4 pound $2.99
  • Yukon Gold potatoes
    3/4 pound $1.29
  • Garlic
    2 cloves $2.49
  • Olive oil
    2 tablespoons
  • Dijon mustard
    1 tablespoon
  • Honey
    1 tablespoon
  • Apple cider vinegar
    1 tablespoon
  • Fine sea salt
    1 7/8 teaspoons, divided
  • Ground black pepper
    1/2 teaspoon, divided

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 425°F. Line a large rimmed sheet pan with parchment. Trim and halve 3/4 pound Brussels sprouts, quartering any especially large ones. Scrub 3/4 pound Yukon Gold potatoes and cut into 1/2-inch wedges.

  2. Toss the prepared vegetables on the sheet pan with 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 1/8 teaspoons fine sea salt, and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper. Spread in a single layer, placing the sprouts cut-side down. Roast for 20 minutes.

  3. While the vegetables roast, pat 12 ounces coho salmon dry and cut into 2 equal portions, checking for pin bones. Season with 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt and refrigerate until ready to roast.

  4. Mince 2 garlic cloves. In a small bowl, whisk together the glaze:

    • 2 minced garlic cloves
    • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
    • 1 tablespoon honey
    • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
    • 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

    Reserve half the glaze in a separate bowl for serving, keeping it away from the raw fish.

  5. Turn the potatoes and sprouts, then move them toward the edges of the pan. Set the salmon skin-side down in the cleared space and brush with the unreserved glaze. Roast for 10–12 minutes, until the salmon reaches 125°F in the thickest part and the vegetables are tender and browned. Let the salmon rest for 3 minutes.

  6. Divide the roasted potatoes and Brussels sprouts between two plates. Add a salmon portion to each and spoon the reserved glaze over the fish.

Drink pairing: An Oregon or Washington Pinot Noir complements the salmon’s richness and the browned Brussels sprouts.
