This Sunday supper is one of my absolute favorites for a chilly evening. The combination of sweet and savory glaze on the salmon creates a beautiful crust that pairs perfectly with the rich and velvety texture of mascarpone mashed potatoes.

Adding smoky bacon to the Brussels sprouts gives the whole plate a nice crunch and depth of flavor. It is a hearty meal that feels special enough for company but is simple enough to put together for your own family on a weekend.

🧺 Ingredients

4 salmon fillets
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
4 slices bacon, chopped
2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and quartered
4 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup mascarpone cheese
Salt and black pepper to taste

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Whisk together the soy sauce and maple syrup in a small bowl, then pour it over the salmon fillets and let them marinate for 15 minutes.
2
Place the potatoes in a large pot of salted water, bring to a boil, and cook until tender before draining.
3
Mash the potatoes with butter and mascarpone cheese until smooth and season with salt and pepper.
4
While the potatoes cook, fry the chopped bacon in a large skillet until crisp, then add the Brussels sprouts to the pan.
5
Sauté the sprouts in the bacon fat until they are tender and slightly charred, then set aside.
6
Heat a separate pan with olive oil over medium high heat and cook the salmon fillets for about 4 minutes per side until the glaze is caramelized and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
7
Serve the salmon alongside the warm mashed potatoes and the crispy bacon Brussels sprouts.

💡 Tips

Store any leftover salmon and vegetables in airtight containers in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat the salmon gently in a pan over low heat to keep it from drying out.
