Ingredients
- For the Salmon:
- 1 pound salmon fillets
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- For the Brussels Sprouts:
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- For the Sauce:
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Marinate the Salmon
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, grated ginger, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes. Pour the marinade over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are well-coated. Let the salmon marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for a richer flavor.
Prepare the Brussels Sprouts
Preheat your oven or grill. While that’s heating up, toss the trimmed and halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until they’re evenly coated.
Cook It All
Place the marinated salmon fillets on the grill or under the broiler. Add the Brussels sprouts alongside the salmon. Cook for approximately 5-7 minutes per side, or until the salmon is tender and flaky, and the Brussels sprouts are golden and crispy.
Whip Up the Sauce
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, fresh lemon juice, and garlic powder. Mix well until smooth and creamy; this sauce will add a zesty finish to your dish.
Assemble the Bowls
On a serving plate or bowl, create a base of cooked rice or quinoa. Top with the grilled salmon and crispy Brussels sprouts. Drizzle the prepared sauce over the top and serve immediately.
Notes
Serving Suggestions
For an added burst of flavor, consider garnishing with sesame seeds or chopped green onions.
Storage Tips
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently to avoid drying out the salmon.
Customization
Feel free to swap out the Brussels sprouts for other seasonal vegetables like asparagus or broccoli to suit your taste preferences.
