Flaky salmon glazed with honey and balsamic is the star of this elegant meal. Caramelized Brussels sprouts tossed with sweet fig jam and a dollop of butter, then showered in crispy fried onions, offer a sweet and earthy counterpoint to the fish. Rounding it all out are ciabatta toast points, slathered in a creamy, garlicky spread. Pro tip: Pile the figgy Brussels sprouts onto your garlic toast for an unforgettable bite!
