Herb Garlic Baked Salmon with Parmesan Brussel Sprouts

Print Recipe

Salmon is an incredibly rich source of protein, omega 3-fats, and Vitamin B12. The herb butter coating packs a powerful flavor punch to make this dish both satiating  and delicious, and also keep the salmon moist. The butter mixture can be specialized to suit anyone’s herb and spice preferences, as can the brussel sprouts seasoning. Brussel sprouts are a type of cruciferous vegetable and are very high in Vitamin K, which is an essential micronutrient for blood clotting and bone health. Parmesan cheese adds an earthy flavor to the brussel sprouts, and will leave your oven smelling incredible. Some examples of yummy starches to add to this dish include potatoes and Mac & Cheese.
