Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Rinse and trim the Brussels sprouts, then cut them in half if they are large.
In a bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Roast the Brussels sprouts in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until they become crispy on the edges, stirring halfway through.
While the sprouts roast, pat the salmon dry with a paper towel. Season both sides lightly with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Brush the salmon with maple syrup on both sides, ensuring a thin, even coat.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the salmon for about 3 minutes on each side, or until a golden crust forms.
Finish cooking the salmon in the preheated oven or reduce the heat and cover the skillet until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
Plate the salmon with a side of crispy roasted Brussels sprouts, and enjoy your balanced, nutritious meal.
