Healthy Salmon & Brussels Sprouts Recipe

Healthy recipe time! This one contains quite a few health benefits and one of my favorite dinners. One food I hear many people don't like is brussels sprouts. Althought I'm not sure how you can't love these great-tasting greens, brussels sprouts are high in antioxidant and can aid in lowering cholesterol and reducing inflammation. 

And everyone knows that salmon is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids for heart health and brain/nerve function. Salmon is also the easy way to get your daily protein to strengthen muscle and tissue. And, did you know that avocado fruit is considered by the Guinness World of Record to be the most nutritious fruit??? I knew it was good for you, but that little fact right there surprised even me! It contains valuable fat to lower cholesterol, they are high in fiber to help reduce your appetite, and they contain lots of necessary vitamins. This recipe is a must try:

INGREDIENTS
2 cups quinoa
1 lb of Salmon
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 cups brussels sprouts
1 avocado

Black pepper to taste 

1. Cook quinoa as stated on the packaging.
2. Heat oven to 425 degrees. Place Salmon on baking sheet and drizzle with lemon juice and dill seed. Cooking time varies, about 15-20 minutes depending on thickness.
3. Heat burner with 2 tbsp olive oil on medium heat. 
4. Place Brussels Sprouts in Tupperware with 1 inch of water and lid loosely on top in the microwave and cook for 5 minutes. 
5. Then place them into the heated pan and cook until golden brown. 
6. Slice avocado into chunks.
7. Combine pasta, salmon, brussels sprouts and avocado into a bowl and enjoy! :)
