Ingredients
  

dressing
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic large
  • 2-3 anchovy filets if you don't like anchovies you can substitute 1 tbs. of capers
  • 1/2 juice lemon
  • 1.5 tbsp dijon mustard
salad
  • 2 bags shaved brussels sprouts 10oz.
  • 1-2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
optional topping: roasted salmon (this is per person, so multiply recipe by # of people eating)
  • 1 filet salmon (wild is preferable) allow 1/2lb. per person
  • 1 tbsp dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 pinch each of salt and pepper

Method
 

dressing
  1. throw all of the ingredients into the food processor or nutribullet, let combine until creamy, and set aside.
salad
  1. heat the olive oil in a deep sauté pan.
  2. sauté the brussels sprouts with salt to taste until wilted and browned.
  3. turn off the heat and add the parmesan cheese to the pan. let it melt over the sautéed sprouts.
  4. add the dressing, and serve immediately (you want it to be good and warm!). 
salmon topping
  1. preheat the oven to 450.
  2. press the garlic using a garlic press and mix together in a small bowl with the dijon, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt and pepper.
