Starting with a great piece of fresh salmon is a big part of a successful dish. Line caught and wild would be ideal, but I know that it can be hard to find and more expensive.

weight loss Salmon Recipe Cooking Instructions
-
Heat a large skillet over medium/high heat with the avocado oil.
Coat pan with oil and seasoning.
Put the brussels sprouts in and season with a bit of the rosemary. Sauté until they begin to caramelize (turn brown and crispy on the outside). Remove from the skillet and set aside while you start to cook the salmon.
Start with the brussel sprout.
Season the salmon with the rosemary sprinkled on top (both sides if no skin). Place the salmon in the same hot skillet, skin side down (if it has skin)
Pan sear the salmon fillet.
-
I like to turn the salmon over once to create some good color on top, but not necessary.
-
I also like to put a little water (just a tablespoon or 2) in the skillet and cover for about 5 minutes depending on thickness. This helps cook by steaming a bit.
-
When the salmon is close to done, slide it over in the pan and make room for the brussels sprouts to come back in for a minute to get hot.
Add the veggie to the salmon and sear.
-
Cover and simmer for a few minutes until everything is hot & ready, then serve

Weight loss suggestion: You can use our calorie calculator to determine your ideal body weight and compute your recommended daily calorie intake, then build your custom meals here.
Culinary Suggestion 1: You can use fresh rosemary if available, even better. Just remember dried herbs are a little more powerful by weight than fresh herbs, so with the fresh, you can use a little more.
Culinary Suggestion 2: You can squeeze a little lemon over everything to brighten it up if you like. Highly recommended for this dish, and most weight loss diet meals for that matter!
