Parmesan Brussels and Seasoned Salmon
Makes: 2 portions
Per portion: 449kcal
Ingredients
- 8 oz. skinless salmon (4 oz. in each portion)
- 4-5 cups brussels (shredded)
- 2 tbsp. salted butter
- ⅛ tsp red pepper flakes
- ⅓ cup parmesan (freshly grated)
- 1 tsp olive oil
Seasonings for salmon
- salt (to taste)
- pepper (to taste)
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp slap ya mama (or tony's)
Instructions
- Season your salmon with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, slap ya mama (or tony's), rub in seasonings with 1 tsp of olive oil on each filet and set aside.
- Heat 1 tsp of olive oil in a cast iron over medium heat (brushing the bottom to coat evenly), add red pepper flakes, 1/4 tsp of pepper and toast for 30 secs
- Add brussels, stir for a few seconds to coat in oil, then leave undisturbed for about 2 minutes. After 2 minutes, create a hole, add 2 tbsp. of salted butter, melt, and then stir in with your brussels. Cook for 2-3 more minutes, stirring every 30 seconds (until brussels begin to char). Add a pinch of salt to season.
- Stir in your fresh parmesan, and remove brussels from heat immediately into a bowl or plate
- In the same pan, brush the cast iron with olive oil (so salmon doesn't stick). Add salmon, and cook on each side for 3 minutes on each side (cover in between flips to cook faster)
- Plate with brussels and enjoy!
Notes
Meatless option: I also LOVE these brussels with a fried egg or two (for breakfast and sometimes lunch)
Use a microplane to shred/grate parmesan if you have one. It makes a really thin shred so that it melts easier.
