It’s safe to say that sheet pan meals changed my life. Kiiiind of a bold statement, but really, they did.
I first discovered them when I was working long days during my dietetic internship. I would leave the hospital when it was already dark, and since I was sweating for the wedding, I’d hurry home to hit the gym or a workout class.
After that I’d be hankering for something healthy but quick! Our weekends were packed with wedding planning and trips, leaving me little time to meal prep. So what was a girl to do? Enter: sheet pan meals!
I discovered them sort of accidentally when I realized I could roast cauliflower and salmon at the same temperature. And the rest is history. I’ve been experimenting with tasty glazes and different veggie and protein combos ever since!
I haven’t even gotten to the best part. Sheet pan meals mean there is literally only one pan that goes into the oven, making clean-up a breeze.
How to Make Maple Mustard Salmon
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Put the salmon fillets in the center. Wash and quarter the brussels sprouts.
- Next, make the uhhh-mazing maple mustard marinade. Add half of the glaze to the brussels in a mixing bowl and stir until they’re coated. Spread them around the salmon on the baking sheet, then brush the salmon with the rest of the sauce.
- Pop that all in the oven, wash the bowl, and BOOM. Dinner is served!

Expert Tips
- Make sure to cut the brussels into quarters, because you want them to be small enough to roast up pretty quickly.
- You can use fresh or frozen (but fully thawed) salmon for this recipe. I love Trader Joe’s frozen wild caught salmon. It’s so affordable and great to buy in bulk since it’s frozen!
- Salmon doesn’t take long to cook. Check on it starting at 15 minutes so that you don’t dry it out.
- Serve over brown rice or another type of whole grain for a complete meal.
- Maple Mustard Salmon and Brussels is best when eaten right away, but you can also reheat leftovers for lunch! Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, and reheat in the microwave.
- This recipe calls for dijon mustard to make the salmon marinade, but you can sub whole grain mustard and/or use honey instead of maple syrup.
