Healthy Smoked Salmon Sushi Bowls

By

Who else loves sushi?! We love sushi so much that we drive 30 minutes across town to the best sushi place we have found.

That's probably because she had them steamed or boiled until they were a pile of bitter mush. Gross. I don't blame her. Then someone in the foodie world tried roasting them. Trimming their ends off, slicing them in half and letting them get nice and charred and crispy. Suddenly Brussels sprouts … [Read more...]
