Salmon is a great first choice for protein when you’re planning your wellness dinners for the week. Famous for its health benefits, it’s packed with omega-3 fatty acids that help promote heart health through reducing cholesterol and blood pressure. It’s also a gorgeous protein base for many fantastic dinner and lunch main courses.
Another leading ingredient when it comes to heart health is pomegranate, a super-food which offers essential daily nutrients, anti-inflammatories, and antioxidants. When the two are combined, you get our Pomegranate Marinated Salmon with Roasted Brussel Sprouts. This recipe is ready to infuse your body with vitamin-rich liveliness to start your week off right.
Pomegranate Marinated Salmon with Roasted Brussel Sprouts Recipe
INGREDIENTS
1 filet salmon (roughly 1-1.5 lbs)
20 brussels spouts, shaved thinly
1 cup fresh pomegranate seeds
1/2 lemon cut into wedges
For the salmon marinade:
1 tablespoon minced shallot
1 tablespoon molasses
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup freshly chopped parsley
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- In a bowl, mix together all of the marinade ingredients and add to a ziplock back. Add salmon filet and marinate for at least 1 hour but ideally overnight.
- In a very hot cast iron skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and add salmon, cook on one side until the top of the salmon is browned. Flip the filet over and add the shaved Brussels sprouts to the skillet.
- Bake at 400 degrees until the salmon is cooked to preferred doneness. Garnish with pomegranate seeds and lemon wedges.
