Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Wash and trim the Brussels sprouts by cutting off the stems and halving them. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Pour half of this mixture over the Brussels sprouts and toss well to coat evenly.
Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on one side of the prepared baking sheet, leaving room for the salmon fillets.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the empty side of the baking sheet.
Brush the remaining olive oil mixture evenly over the tops of the salmon fillets.
Optional: Sprinkle a pinch of red pepper flakes over the Brussels sprouts and salmon if you like a bit of heat.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are golden and tender and the salmon is cooked through (the internal temperature should reach 145°F or 63°C).
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the salmon and Brussels sprouts rest for 2-3 minutes.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Serve immediately with lemon wedges, if desired.
