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.
3. To the same pan, add butter and garlic. Cook for 1 minute, add the roasted peppers, and cook for 2 more minutes.
4. Add the spinach and allow it to wilt.
5. Reduce the heat to low, and add Half & Half, Parmesan, red pepper flakes, parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir and bring to a simmer.
6. Return the salmon to the pan and spoon the sauce over each filet.
7. Serve over pasta, rice, or steamed vegetables.

I’ve made this a zillion times! I bake my salmon instead of frying. Served with linguine and broccoli on the side. Always a delicious hit!

I haven't made this yet but it looks delicious. Under Nutrition, is the sodium count of 2345 mg correct? It seems very high for one serving.
Tania Sheff says
Hi Bunny! I am not sure about the sodium level. I simply put all the ingredients into a nutrition calculator, which comes up with these quantities. You can try using an online nutrition calculator (My Fitness Pal) and double-check the results. Happy cooking!
