   Pat salmon dry with paper towels. Rub a drizzle of oil on skin sides; season all over with salt and pepper. Spread dijon mustard on flesh sides of salmon; mound with panko mixture, pressing firmly to adhere. Once Brussels sprouts have roasted 10 minutes, remove baking sheet from oven and carefully push to one side. (For 4 servings, leave Brussels sprouts roasting; add salmon to a second sheet and roast on middle rack, swapping rack positions halfway through.) Place salmon, skin sides down, on opposite side of sheet. Roast on top rack until salmon is cooked through and Brussels sprouts are browned and tender, 8-10 minutes.
