Instructions
- Heat oven to 425°F. Line a sheet pan with foil or parchment.
- Trim Brussels sprouts; halve them (quarter any large ones). Core and slice the apple into thin wedges.
- On the sheet pan, toss Brussels sprouts and apple with 1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil, half the garlic, salt, pepper, and a pinch of chili flakes (optional). Spread into an even layer.
- Roast 12 minutes until sprouts start to brown.
- Meanwhile, pat salmon dry. Mix remaining 1 Tbsp olive oil with Dijon, remaining garlic, lemon zest, and 1 Tbsp lemon juice (plus honey/maple if using). Rub over the salmon.
- Pull pan out, scoot veggies to make space, and add salmon skin-side down. Roast 10–12 minutes more, until salmon flakes easily (or hits 125–130°F for medium).
- Finish with a squeeze of extra lemon over everything. Taste and adjust salt/pepper. Serve right away.
Health notes: ~650 calories/person. High protein + omega-3s; lots of fiber from Brussels sprouts and apple. Moderate sodium depending on seasoning; keep it lighter by going easy on added salt and using more lemon/pepper.
Drink pairing: Wine: chilled Sauvignon Blanc (look for Chateau Elan options in GA) or a crisp lager.
