Key Ingredients
Salmon: Use thawed pre-frozen salmon fillets or cut a fresh fillet into 6-ounce portions for the sheet pan. As always, you can use whatever salmon you can, but I like wild Alaskan salmon.
Maple syrup: Use real maple syrup, not maple-flavored syrup. The touch of sweetness adds a lot!
Stone ground mustard: My favorite mustard is stone ground, and that's my go-to for this maple mustard salmon recipe! Alternatively, brown mustard or dijon mustard make great subsitutes (see Grilled Maple Dijon Chicken Thighs), but not yellow mustard.
Brussels sprouts: I halved the brussels sprouts to keep cooking time similar with the sweet potatoes. Using brussels sprouts give this sheet pan recipe fall vibes. You can substitute broccoli or cauliflower if you'd like!
Sweet potatoes: Use any type of sweet potatoes for this recipe. I used jersey sweet potatoes and loved the creaminess with the maple mustard sauce!

How to make Sheet Pan Maple Mustard Salmon
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Spread the brussels sprouts and sweet potato on a baking sheet, drizzle in oil, and toss to coat. Roast for 15 minutes.
Step 2: Meanwhile, combine the maple syrup, mustard, and tamari/soy sauce in a bowl. Set aside.
Step 3: Drizzle the salmon fillets with oil and rub all over (including the skin side). Season with salt and pepper.
Step 4: Use a spatula to move the sweet potato and brussels sprouts to the edges and add the salmon fillets to the sheet pan.
Step 5: Drizzle the salmon with maple mustard sauce.
Step 6: Roast for another 10-12 minutes, until sweet potatoes and brussels sprouts are done and salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Top Tips from Chelsea
Skip the parchment paper - I know, parchment paper helps with cleanup! But you'll get crispier salmon skin and better browning on the vegetables if you skip it.
Use whatever vegetables you have on hand - Feel free to use all brussels sprouts, all sweet potatoes, or swap either out entirely for broccoli, cauliflower, potatoes, etc. Green beans also go great with salmon, but they only need a short cook time.
Sheet Pan Maple Mustard Salmon FAQs
Feel free to use all brussels sprouts, all sweet potatoes, or swap either out entirely for broccoli, cauliflower, potatoes, etc.
Note that the cook time may change. For example, green beans will cook in 10-15 minutes, so you can drastically cut the cook time if you use green beans.
At 425 degrees F, salmon usually only takes 10-12 minutes. The larger the portions, the longer the cook time will take.
Skip the parchment paper and add the salmon skin side down to a hot sheet pan.
Parchment paper certainly helps with cleanup, but it will affect the browning process. For this recipe, since you'll add the salmon to an already-hot sheet pan, you should get another boost of crispiness!

Description
You'll want the easy maple mustard sauce over everything for this high protein meal. Salmon, brussels sprouts, and sweet potato all make this an easy dinner on one sheet pan!
Ingredients
- 1 pound brussels sprouts, trimmed and sliced in half
- 1 large sweet potato, diced
- 1 ½ lb salmon, cut into 4 equal pieces if necessary
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt, divided
- 2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons stone ground mustard
- 1 ½ tablespoons tamari/soy sauce
Instructions
- Partially roast vegetables. Preheat oven to 425 F. Spread brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes out on a large rimmed baking sheet. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and drizzle with about 1 tablespoon olive oil, tossing to coat. Roast for 15 minutes.
- Prep salmon. Meanwhile, season the flesh side of salmon with the remaining salt. Set aside.
- Prep sauce. In a small bowl, combine remaining olive oil, maple syrup, mustard, and tamari/soy sauce.
- Add salmon and sauce. After 15 minutes, take the baking sheet out of the oven and stir the sweet potatoes and brussels sprouts. Make room on the baking sheet for the salmon, nudging the vegetables aside for space. Place the salmon skin side down on the baking sheet without overlapping. Pour the maple mixture over the salmon fillets, using a brush if desired to make sure the fillets are coated.
- Roast. Roast for another 10-12 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Notes
- For the best browning and crispy salmon skin, skip the parchment paper and roast directly on the sheet pan.
- Feel free to swap out the vegetables for others with a similar cook time, like broccoli, cauliflower, or potatoes.
