Pomegranate Glazed Salmon with Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Pomegranate Glazed Salmon with Roasted Brussels Sprouts. My favorite cozy fall and winter salmon recipe. Super saucy sweet chili and pomegranate glaze. It’s a little sweet and a little spicy. It’s topped with pomegranate arils and basil then paired with crispy roasted Brussels sprouts. And my favorite part…make sure you smother those sprouts in all that saucy glaze !! Cheers to almost friday guys !!
Guys, I am not going to lie this has to be one to be one of my favorite ways to make salmon. It definitely gives me winter vibes from the pomegranate. But can you totally have this salmon anytime of the year? Absolutely !! Because it’s hard not to love a super saucy glazed salmon with crispy roasted Brussels sprouts and a little basil…yes basil…still keeping some summer vibes alive ;)) !!
You may be thinking you’ve seen this salmon on our blog before, and that’s because you definitely have. We made it around the holidays and incorporated it in our seven fishes Christmas Eve menu. But for all of you who are new to the blog, well here you have it for the very first time.
And speaking of Christmas, is anyone else already as excited for the holiday season as I am? I am completely guilty of already planning our thanksgiving menu. And thanksgiving is my favorite holiday of the year, so I cannot help but get excited this early. And October is tomorrow after all, so it’s not thaaaat early, right?!
And can you believe its already October 1st tomorrow?! I mean, wow, September completely flew by. I’m definitely sad time is flying, but I am also so excited for the holidays. So cheers to fall/holiday salmon recipes and tomorrow being Friday and the first day of October !!
