The Pep Talk: Recipe #1

Updated: Aug 3, 2022

This is the perfect weekday dinner recipe!

If you are someone who has an interest in eating a more plant-based diet and wants to take a break from excess carbs and red meat, look no further. This recipe is a fan favorite and I've had the pleasure of making it for some of my closest friends and loved ones, perfecting it over the years.


The art of cooking can be simplified and also elevated not by how to season your food, but by how you prep, and cook it. These techniques outlined below will take your meal to the next level!


Honey Garlic Salmon w/ Roasted Potatoes, Brussels Sprouts, Asparagus, and Garden Salad


Section 1: Ingredients


Everything you'll need is listed below:

  • BBQ cut salmon

  • Mini Potatoes

  • Brussels Sprouts

  • Asparagus

  • Arugula

  • Honey

  • Garlic

  • Unsalted Butter

  • Grape Tomatoes

  • Cucumber

  • Avocado

  • Dried Cranberries (optional)

  • Lemon (optional)


Section 2: Directions

  1. Prep and clean salmon with lemon and lime or vinegar. Set aside in a bowl and season with your desired mix of spices and herbs. Once seasoned place on a baking sheet and top each piece of salmon with a piece of lemon (optional). Place in an oven preheated to 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Remove from oven and drizzle salmon with melted butter, garlic, and honey mixture. Place back in the oven and broil for 5 minutes.

  2. Rinse mini potatoes and dry completely. Cut potatoes in half and in a mixing bowl add olive oil, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, thyme, and BBQ spice blend. Place potatoes face down on a baking sheet and roast in the oven preheated to 375 degrees for 25 minutes.

  3. Rinse brussels sprouts and dry completely. Cut brussels sprouts in half and in a mixing bowl add olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Place brussels sprouts face down on a baking sheet and roast in the oven preheated to 375 degrees for 20 minutes.

  4. Trim ends of Asparagus and sauté in a pan with butter, salt, and pepper.

  5. Rinse arugula, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber. In a bowl add the arugula, cut up tomatoes, cucumber, avocado, and dried cranberries(optional). Use your favorite salad dressing and enjoy!
