I think this Salmon with Brussels Sprouts Sheet Pan Meal is a great easy dinner for a special occasion, and this week there’s a holiday where some 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, right?
The inspiration for the flavoring in this one-pan salmon meal 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 on it.
And Kara and I thought this sheet pan salmon and 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.

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.
