This dinner has become a household favorite because it feels special enough for a Sunday supper but is actually quite simple to put together. The balance of the salty bacon and the sweet maple soy glaze makes every bite feel like a treat.

For the best results, try to find salmon fillets that are similar in thickness so they cook at the same rate. This meal pairs perfectly with a side of creamy mashed potatoes if you want to make it an extra hearty feast.

Ingredients

2 salmon fillets
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 pound Brussels sprouts, halved
4 slices bacon, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and black pepper to taste

8Instructions

1
Whisk together the soy sauce, maple syrup, and sesame oil in a small bowl.
2
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the glaze over them, letting them marinate while you prep the vegetables.
3
Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until it starts to get crispy.
4
Add the Brussels sprouts to the skillet with the bacon fat and cook until they are tender and caramelized, about 10 minutes.
5
Remove the sprouts from the pan and set aside.
6
Add the salmon to the same skillet, skin side down, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes.
7
Flip the salmon carefully and pour the remaining marinade into the pan, cooking for another 3 minutes until the sauce thickens and the fish is cooked through.
8
Serve the salmon alongside the warm Brussels sprouts.

Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat the salmon gently in a pan over low heat to keep it from drying out.
