- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
- Fire up your oven to a sizzling 400F and grab a baking sheet for your culinary adventure.
- Whisk together 2 tablespoons honey, 2 minced garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons olive oil, a pinch of salt, and a dash of pepper in a small mixing bowl until smooth.
- Position your 2 salmon fillets right in the center of the baking sheet, giving them some breathing room.
- Scatter 1 cup of halved Brussels sprouts around the salmon like little green soldiers.
- Generously brush the entire honey garlic mixture over both the salmon and Brussels sprouts, ensuring every surface gets a delicious coating.

Notes
- Check salmon thickness to adjust cooking time, ensuring it doesn’t overcook and remains tender.
- For crispy Brussels sprouts, cut them in half and place cut-side down on the baking sheet.
- Swap honey with maple syrup for a different flavor profile or to make the recipe vegan-friendly.
- Fresh garlic provides the best flavor, but jarred minced garlic works in a pinch for quick preparation.
