    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.

    2. Heat the oil in a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the salmon fillets flesh-side down first, for 5 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your liking. Once cooked, remove them from the pan and set aside.

      Always a success with my home. I like adding some extra pepper, paprika and cayenne pepper to my sauce. My boyfriend tells me he feels as if he is in a restaurant when I make this for him.

      Tasty and quick. After one try, I’d be happy to make this again, but I’d perhaps bake the salmon at the same time as I was roasting the peppers, then flake it into the sauce. I might try adding a pinch of saffron, and/or a little bit of chilli next time too. Thanks - great addition to the repertoire.

        I was looking for a new salmon recipe. This looked so good I made it. It was very simple to make and was delicious. I didn't have spinach on hand so Iused sweet peppers, sweet onions and French cut green beans.

      What do you suggest can be used in place of the spinach due to an allergy to it?

        Hi Catherine! Just skip the spinach. Happy cooking!

      My neighbor prepared this for my early birthday dinner and it was scrumptious and she served it with a lemony couscous. I watched her as she cooked it and it was quite a simple recipe but so satisfying. Leftovers went home with me my dinner the next day and she took the remaining with her to work for lunch.
