Try this Garlic Roasted Salmon and Brussel Sprouts recipe from Eating Well. This recipe is simple enough for a weeknight meal and can be served with whole wheat couscous.

Remember! You can always substitute ingredients - for example, don't like salmon? Switch the salmon out for another protein, like chicken!

Roasting salmon on top of Brussels sprouts and garlic, flavored with wine and fresh oregano, is simple enough for a weeknight meal yet sophisticated enough to serve to company. Serve with whole-wheat couscous.
