A cozy and flavorful Sunday dinner featuring flaky salmon glazed in a sweet and savory sauce with crispy bacon brussels sprouts.
easy.enzo81.xyzThis 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.
