Hoisin Salmon over Warm Brussels Sprouts Kale and Quinoa
Rate this post
The simple sauce in this recipe is fantastic and really versatile. And it pulls double duty as a marinade for the salmon and a warm dressing for the Brussels sprout and kale salad. If your family is not a fan of Brussels sprouts and kale, don’t worry. Try chopped broccoli, red bell pepper, spinach, or asparagus. Fantastic with anything you choose!

NOTES
KID NOTE: Surprisingly, my kids love Brussels sprouts. I told them the kale was spinach and they devoured everything.
VEGETARIAN TIP: Use firm tofu instead of salmon.
GLUTEN MODIFICATIONS: Make your own hoisin and use tamari instead of soy sauce.
