    ABOUT THE ROASTED PEPPERS

    You'll need some roasted red peppers for this recipe. You can use store-bought, jarred roasted peppers, or roast the peppers yourself. Both options work well, so the choice is yours.

    If you prefer to buy jarred roasted peppers, they are sold in all large grocery stores, usually located in the pickle aisle, or somewhere next to olives. You can also buy roasted peppers on Amazon.

    HOW TO MAKE SALMON IN ROASTED PEPPER SAUCE

    1.Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper.

      I made this recipe with steelhead trout instead if salmon but followed the recipe as is for the rest. This is so delicious! I steamed brocolli and put some of the sauce on top. Definitely will make this again! So good

      I’ve cooked this recipe twice this week. All I can say is, “Delicious, tasty, simple and smooth”. I served it over freshly cooked rice. I even tried it with using tilapia fish fillets, since my husband is not a salmon lover. Again, “ Delicious, tasty, simple and smooth”!! Will definitely share recipe with family and friends!!

      I have made this recipe 4 times now. Tonight I did NOT cook the salmon all the way through, I seared it a couple minutes and set it aside. I added a little more than 1/2 cup of cream, to make it saucier. I added the salmon back into the pan the last few minutes and let it simmer in the sauce, I broke the salmon up into pieces rather than keep it as fillets and the sauce really penetrated the salmon. It turned out soooooo good this time. The reason I did this is because the salmon always gets soggy anyways once added to the sauce, so I would rather it absorb all the creaminess.
