Maple Glazed Salmon and Brussels Sprouts

Ingredients:

4 salmon fillets

1/2 cup maple syrup

1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce

1/4 cup orange juice

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

kosher salt and black pepper

1/2 pound brussels sprouts halved

2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

In a 9x13 inch baking dish, whisk together the maple, soy sauce, orange juice, cayenne, and pepper. Place the salmon flesh side down in the maple sauce. Let sit 15 minutes.

On a baking sheet, combine the brussels sprouts,olive oil, salt and pepper. Toss well to evenly coat. Place in the oven and roast for 25 minutes.

After 25 minutes, remove the salmon from the maple sauce and add to the baking sheet with the brussels sprouts. Transfer to the oven and roast for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the salmon has reached your desired doneness.

Meanwhile, pour the remaining maple sauce into a small sauce pan and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until the sauce has reduced into a glaze.

Drizzle the glaze over the salmon and serve with the roasted brussels sprouts.  I also served with mashed potatoes and doubled the sauce.
