Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and cube the butternut squash. Trim the Brussels sprouts and cut them in half. Toss both vegetables with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Spread them out on a baking sheet.

  2. 2

    Roast the Vegetables

    Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes, or until the butternut squash is tender and the Brussels sprouts are caramelized.

  3. 3

    Make the Maple Shallot Glaze

    While the vegetables are roasting, finely chop the shallots. In a small saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallots and sauté until they are soft and translucent. Stir in the maple syrup and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat.

  4. 4

    Grill the Salmon

    Season the salmon fillets with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Grill the salmon fillets for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and flaky.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Pepitas

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the pepitas until they are golden and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Dish

    On each plate, place a portion of roasted butternut squash and Brussels sprouts. Top with a grilled salmon fillet, drizzle with the maple shallot glaze, and add a dollop of smoked ricotta cheese. Sprinkle with toasted pepitas before serving.
