GLUTEN FREE SERIES-2: SALMON, PAN-ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS and MASHED SWEET POTATOES

Unfortunately, many products that are available as Gluten Free today are downright expensive. If you don’t have a specific wheat allergy, you can easily purchase them; however, for those with wheat allergies, there aren’t so many choices reasonably priced. That’s when making your meals from scratch makes sense and becomes affordable.
 
This is another Glute Free meal, not only nutritious but easy and quick to make. The only ingredient that takes longer is the baked sweet potato. All these ingredients are fresh. The mashed sweet potatoes ingredients are only a drizzle of basting oil and a pinch of black pepper.

Ingredients
2 Salmon steaks ($4.50)
1 ½ tbsp. Angie’s Dried Seasoning (or the one of your choice) (.30)
2 ½ tbsp. Angie’s Basting Oil (or the one of your choice) (.70)
2 small sweet potatoes ($1.25)
2 cups of shredded Brussels sprouts ($2.30)
1 Avocado ($1.20)
Pinch of fresh grind pepper
 
Directions

1. Turn the over at 400 degrees.
2. Wash well, pat dry and wrap the sweet potatoes in foil paper. (The sweet potatoes will cook faster if you cut them in half.) Bake for about 45 minutes.
3. Season the salmon with 1 tbsp. of Angie’s Dried Seasoning, ½ of basting oil and refrigerate.
4. Remove all the outer leaves of the Brussels sprouts, shred in a mandolin or simply cut them in small chiffonade style with your kitchen knife. Set aside.
5. When the sweet potatoes are about to be done, add 1 tbsp. of basting oil to a skillet and pan sear the salmon until golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside to rest.
6. Meantime, in the same skillet that you cooked the salmon, (if needed, add more basting oil to the pan) briefly sauté the Brussels sprouts for about 3 minutes, just to brown them a bit and absorb all the leftover flavors of the salmon.
7. Next, remove the sweet potatoes from the oven, peel and mash. Add olive oil and a pinch of black pepper.
8. Now cut your avocados and start plating your healthy Glute Free meals. Enjoy!
