SRIRACHA & LIME SALMON W/ GARLIC ROASTED BRUSSEL SPROUTS

Sriracha Lime Salmon-14
It’s been over a month now since we got our little baby chicks and it is ridiculous how quickly they are growing.

For those of you just here for a recipe (hi!!), I’ll refrain from giving you a dissertation on my chicks and save that for tomorrow.
Today we’re talking about this healthy and delicious dinner of Sriracha & Lime Salmon w/ Garlic Roasted Brussel Sprouts. Disclaimer: there might have been quite a few more sprouts before I started taking pictures but I couldn’t stop eating them! Ooops.

My favorite thing about this dish is that it requires the smallest amount of effort. The hardest part is mincing the garlic and from there you just throw everything in a skillet. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. But not lemon…we’re using lime.

When cooking fish at home, salmon is usually my go to. Unfortunately, I don’t live in an area where fresh fish is seen very often so I most often buy it frozen. So, that’s what we have here.

Since the brussel sprouts take longer to cook, those go in first with the garlic to saute for a few minutes.

After the sprouts have cooked for about 8 minutes, take them off of the heat and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine honey, lime juice & zest, sriracha sauce, and salt.
Sriracha Lime Salmon-3
Taking each piece of salmon individually, dip it into the sauce so that it is covered on each side. Place the salmon in the middle of the skillet.
Sriracha Lime Salmon-4
Once the salmon is placed, pour the remainder of the sauce over top of the 2 pieces of salmon. The juices will spread throughout the pan which is okay. The brussel sprouts will soak up the extra sauce and make them extra yummmmmyyy. Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes.

When I first made this dish, I didn’t anticipate how much the brussel sprouts would also be flavored by the sriracha and lime juice. The honey causes it to kind of caramelize around the veggies and make them extra delicious.

It’s all topped with a good handful of cilantro and eaten right out of the skillet for maximum flavor consumption.

MEXICAN BEAN AND POTATO BAKE

This Mexican bean and potato bake is a hearty, satisfying one pot dinner with plenty of fresh veg! If you asked me what my ideal meal would be, it would be something hearty and cheesy, but still with plenty of fresh veggies. Basically – this Mexican bean and potato bake. It’s exactly the sort of thing I love. POTATO BAKE CAN BE A BALANCED MEAL! I absolutely love a good potato bake, but I generally think of it as a  side dish , rather than a main course. Think of something like  potato dauphinoise  – wonderfully delicious, but not exactly packed with nutrition. You definitely need to serve something else alongside it to make a full meal (assuming someone else is watching… if you’re alone, I say go for it…). This Mexican bean and potato bake, on the other hand, is unquestionably a meal in its own right. It’s got carbs, protein, and plenty of fresh veggies, all cooked up in one big pan – easy, fuss-free, and delicious! ROASTED POTATOES This bean and potato bake starts with o...

EASY TOFU KEBABS

Easy tofu kebabs that are perfect for summer grilling season! Summer is 1000% my favorite time of year and for us it means TONS of grilling! After I shared the  Grilled Tofu  recipe last month, I knew that I needed to make a version of it on kebabs. I used all of my favorite summer veggies on this one but obviously you can use whatever works best! These vegan kebabs are perfect for summer get togethers where you’re not sure if there will be any veggie options for you. You can assemble them ahead of time and then pop them on the grill whenever you’re ready! I marinated the tofu in the same marinate that I used with the grilled tofu because it’s simple and so good! Why re-invent the wheel when you don’t have to, right? In an ideal situation, the pressed tofu would get marinated overnight but if you don’t have that much time, a much shorter marinade would also work just fine. After the tofu has marinated, I toss the veggies in that same liquid to give them a little flavor and so ...
