I love festive but simple-to-do, nutritious, delicious, and filling meals. I enjoy preparing this meal during wintertime. Perfect to share with family and friends, especially for special occasions. For the veggies, I used Brussels sprouts and a variety of small potatoes. Feel free to replace those veggies with others that you like. The salmon pairs well with a pesto sauce.

Homemade pesto sauce is very easy to make. Goes well with many main and side dishes. Or simply enjoy it on a piece of hearty bread! Pairs well with my Seared Salmon recipe.

The more common version of this meal is made with white rice, minced meat, and several spices. For New Year’s Eve, I made a vegan version using brown Jasmine rice, hummus, herbs, and spices. This can be a time-consuming dish, but it is very rewarding and delicious. Perfect for cooking with family!
