Flaky salmon fillets rubbed with a smoky and slightly spicy chili blend, roasted alongside crispy and caramelized Brussels sprouts. A healthy and flavorful dinner that's easy to prepare.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add maple syrup for extra sweetness, if desired. Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on one side of the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. This is your chili rub.
Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the salmon fillets. Rub the chili spice mixture evenly over all sides of each salmon fillet.
Place the salmon fillets on the baking sheet next to the Brussels sprouts. Make sure the Brussels sprouts are still in a single layer.
Roast for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork and the Brussels sprouts are tender and slightly browned and crispy.
Serve immediately. Enjoy!
