I Salmon with Brussels Sprouts is a perfect combo for an easy dinner! And this week there’s a holiday where couples might go out to dinner, but I bet many of you are celebrating at home! And when you’re making a romantic dinner, you don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen.

The inspiration for the flavoring in this one-pan salmon meal with Brussels Sprouts came from a great recipe from The New York Times. I seasoned the salmon and Brussels Sprouts with the same combination of balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, and lime juice that Melissa Clark used, but I changed the proportions a bit for a less-sweet glaze and added some garlic powder for a slightly different take.

And Kara and I thought this sheet pan salmon with Brussels sprouts meal was a delight! We devoured it when we tested the recipe and I was excited to eat my leftovers the next day. I hope you try it soon; see suggestions below if you want to make it without Brussels Sprouts.

Want to make sheet pan salmon without Brussels sprouts?

• If roasted Brussels Sprouts aren’t a winner at your house, I think the balsamic-soy-lime-garlic glaze used in this recipe would also taste great on green beans or broccoli.
• I’d roast the green beans about 12 minutes before you add the salmon and brush on the glaze.
• Broccoli might take only ten minutes if you like it slightly crisp, or a little longer if you like your broccoli more well-done.
