Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs salmon
- 2 cups brussel sprouts (fresh or frozen)
- 1 tbsp dijon mustard
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1/4 cup shredded parmesan
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- spray oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350℉.
- On a clean sheet pan, lay out a sheet of foil and spray it with olive oil to prevent the salmon from sticking to the foil.
- If your salmon isn't already cut, use a clean knife to cut it into four equal portions. Place the four portions of salmon onto the foil spaced evenly across the pan.
- Spread out the brussel sprouts around the salmon on the pan, making sure to add all the stray leaves as well.
- Drizzle or spray olive oil over the tops of all the salmon and brussels on the pan.
- In a small bowl, stir the lemon juice and dijon mustard together until smooth.
- Using a brush, spread the lemon and mustard mixture over the top of each salmon portion, covering the entire topside of the fish.
- Sprinkle the salt and pepper over each piece of salmon. Add salt and pepper to the brussels as well.
- Using your hands, cover each piece of salmon and all the brussels with the shredded parmesan. Add more cheese to your liking.
- Bake in the oven for about 12-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of your salmon. Make sure the thickest part of the salmon is at least 145℉ before pulling out of the oven. Let sit for a couple minutes, then serve with your favorite sides and enjoy!
Notes
Oil: feel free to use any oil for this recipe, like virgin olive oil or extra virgin olive oil. I used the spray olive oil from Trader Joe's.
Brussel Sprouts: for this recipe I used frozen brussel sprouts. If you are using frozen brussels, feel free to let them thaw out a bit before throwing into the oven. Fresh brussels are great as well as long as you wash them first!
