Maple Soy Salmon with Brussels Sprouts and Mascarpone Mashed Potatoes
A cozy and flavorful Sunday dinner featuring flaky glazed salmon paired with crispy bacon Brussels sprouts and creamy potatoes.
recipesbynani.comThis 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.

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.
