Flaky salmon fillets glazed with sweet and savory maple syrup, baked to perfection, and paired with roasted Brussels sprouts and tart cranberries for a festive and flavorful meal.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and black pepper to create the glaze.
Place the Brussels sprouts and cranberries on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and toss to coat evenly.
Arrange the Brussels sprouts and cranberries in a single layer and bake for 15 minutes.
While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them on a separate section of the baking sheet (you can add them to the baking sheet with the brussels sprouts after 15 min). Brush generously with the maple syrup glaze.
After the Brussels sprouts have roasted for 15 minutes, carefully add the salmon fillets to the baking sheet. Continue baking for another 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Serve the maple-glazed salmon immediately alongside the roasted Brussels sprouts and cranberries.
