Toss brussels sprouts with marinade and spread out onto a sheet pan. Roast in oven for 25 to 30 minutes, giving a shake midway through.
Bake salmon in marinade for 12 to 15 minutes (you can just leave it in the same baking dish). You can time it so that the salmon and brussels sprouts finish around the same time.
Finish brussels sprouts with lemon juice and season with salt and pepper fresh out of the oven. Flip over baked salmon and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve salmon with lemon wedges over brussels sprouts.
