How to Make Honey Garlic Salmon and Brussels Sprouts

Step 1: Prep the Ingredients

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2: Make the Honey Garlic Glaze

In a small bowl, whisk together honey, garlic, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes.

Place the Brussels sprouts on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and black pepper, and toss to coat.

Brush the salmon generously with the honey garlic glaze.
Return to the oven and bake for another 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
