Ingredients

2 tablespoons low-sodium teriyaki sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
4 teaspoons chopped garlic, divided
1 teaspoon grated ginger
1 teaspoon dark sesame oil
6 salmon fillets (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1 pound brussels sprouts, halved if large
1 tablespoon canola oil, divided
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
Vegetable oil cooking spray
1/2 pound shiitake mushrooms, thickly sliced

Instructions

Position rack in middle of oven; heat oven to 450 °F. In a bowl, combine teriyaki sauce, honey, vinegar, 1 teaspoon garlic, ginger and sesame oil. Place salmon in a shallow dish; sprinkle with 1 1/2 tablespoon teriyaki mixture; marinate 15 minutes. In a second bowl, toss brussels sprouts with 1 1/2 teaspoon garlic, 1/2 tablespoon canola oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Coat a rimmed sheet pan with cooking spray. Spread brussels sprouts in pan in a single layer; roast until light brown, 5 minutes. In second bowl, toss mushrooms with remaining 1/2 tablespoon canola oil, 1 1/2 teaspoon garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Move brussels sprouts to center of pan; top with salmon; place mushrooms in pan around edges; roast, stirring mushrooms occasionally, until salmon is just cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Top salmon with remaining teriyaki mixture; serve over Brussels sprouts and mushrooms.
