Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss 1 lb halved Brussels sprouts with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp sea salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until edges are caramelized and tender.
  2. Step 2: While the sprouts roast, whisk together 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, 1 tsp Whole30-compliant honey, 1/2 tsp sea salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper in a bowl. Add 2 peeled and julienned large carrots and toss to coat. Set aside to marinate.
  3. Step 3: Heat remaining 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season 4 salmon fillets with 1/2 tsp sea salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Place salmon skin-side down and sear for 4-5 minutes until skin is crisp.
  4. Step 4: Flip salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until just cooked through and flaky.
  5. Step 5: Serve each salmon fillet with a portion of roasted Brussels sprouts and carrot slaw for a vibrant Whole30 meal.
