  • Ingredient List

    For the maple marinade

    • ¼ cup (60 ml) maple syrup
    • ¼ cup (60 ml) olive oil
    • 1 tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce
    • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
    • 3–4 tbsp grainy mustard
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 tsp paprika

    For garnish:

    • ½ bunch fresh dill
    • A small handful of pecans
    • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • Preparation

    1. Thaw the salmon according to Cool&Simple’s instructions. Pat dry with a paper towel and set aside.
    2. In a large bowl, combine all the marinade ingredients. Reserve ¼ cup to brush on the salmon later.
    3. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
    4. Spread the frozen Brussels sprouts on the sheet pan, drizzle with the remaining marinade, and toss to coat. Roast for approximately 15 minutes, until just tender.
    5. Place the salmon fillets on the same pan, brush with the reserved marinade, and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, depending on the thickness of the portions (the centre should be tender and slightly pink).
    6. Top with fresh dill and toasted pecans. Serve with a side of rice for a complete meal!

    AstuceSmall tip: For extra crunch, add the pecans to the pan during the last 3 minutes of cooking. They’ll toast perfectly and release their nutty aroma.

FAQ – EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE COOKING

Do salmon and brussels sprouts go together?

Yes, salmon and Brussels sprouts pair perfectly. The richness of salmon balances the nutty taste of roasted Brussels sprouts, especially with crispy bacon.

What is the best seasoning for brussels sprouts and salmon ?

A mix of garlic, lemon, olive oil, salt, and pepper works best. Adding smoked paprika or fresh herbs like dill also enhances both salmon and Brussels sprouts.

What spices go well with salmon?

Salmon pairs well with dill, garlic, paprika, cumin, or lemon zest. These spices highlight its rich, buttery flavour.

Is it better to bake or pan-fry salmon?

Baking salmon is healthier and ensures even cooking, while pan-frying gives a crispier crust. Both methods are delicious depending on preference.

What is the tastiest way to cook salmon?

The tastiest way depends on taste, but many prefer oven-roasted salmon with herbs, garlic, and lemon, or pan-seared salmon for a crispy finish.
