Directions to Follow
Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (356°F). This sets the stage for a perfectly roasted dish.
Season the Brussels Sprouts: In a large bowl, combine the Brussels sprouts with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, paprika, and curry powder until well coated.
Bake the Brussels Sprouts: Spread the seasoned sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15 minutes until they’re starting to soften and turn golden brown at the edges.
Prepare the Salmon: While the Brussels sprouts are baking, toss the cubed salmon in a bowl with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and salt.
Combine and Continue Baking: After the first baking interval, add the salmon evenly over the Brussels sprouts and return the pan to the oven. Bake for an additional 8 minutes.
Add Nuts: Sprinkle the chopped walnuts or pecans over the top and bake for another 4 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through and the nuts are toasted.
Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Drizzle it over the cooked mixture just before serving.
Optional Additions: For an extra pop of color and taste, consider adding dried sugar-free cranberries or an egg with a runny yolk on top.
Serve and Enjoy: Plate your delicious Keto Brussels Sprouts With Salmon while it’s hot and fresh!
