Fall is without a doubt my favorite season. I love the cooler temperatures and fun holidays, but, most of all, I LOVE all of the fall foods. That’s why this almond crusted honey dijon salmon with roasted brussels sprouts and chili sweet potatoes was a no brainer! It’s packed with some of my favorite delicious  seasonal produce, and that honey Dijon almond crust on the salmon is so autumn-y and comforting.
