Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 2 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
- 1 teaspoon sriracha hot sauce
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon sea salt, divided
- ½ teaspoon black pepper, divided
- ⅛ teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
Instructions
- Whisk together maple syrup, soy sauce, sriracha, and garlic in a small bowl to create the glaze. Set aside.
- Season salmon with half the salt and pepper and smoked paprika. Brush with 1 teaspoon olive oil.
- Toss Brussels sprouts with remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper until coated.
- Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Cook Brussels sprouts for 10 minutes, shaking halfway through.
- Brush salmon with half the glaze and place in center of air fryer basket. Push sprouts to the sides.
- Air fry for another 8–10 minutes until salmon flakes easily and sprouts are crispy.
- Brush remaining glaze over salmon before serving.
Notes
- Use trout or Arctic char as a substitute for salmon.
- Add sliced almonds or sesame seeds for texture before serving.
- For a sweeter version, reduce sriracha and drizzle honey with the maple syrup.
- Fresh Brussels sprouts crisp better than frozen; thaw and dry if using frozen.
- Store leftovers for up to 2 days and reheat in air fryer for best texture.
