Ingredients
– 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
– 2 red bell peppers
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
– Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
Creating Salmon in Roasted Pepper Sauce is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Roast the Peppers: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Place the red bell peppers on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skin is charred and blistered.
2. Prepare the Sauce: Allow the roasted peppers to cool slightly, then peel off the skin. Remove seeds and stems, and chop the peppers.
3. Sauté Garlic: In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant but not browned, about 1 minute.
4. Combine Ingredients: Add the chopped roasted peppers to the skillet along with paprika, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until everything is heated through.
5. Purée the Sauce: Transfer the roasted pepper mixture to a blender or use an immersion blender to purée until smooth. Stir in lemon juice and adjust seasoning as needed.
6. Cook the Salmon: In the same skillet, add the salmon fillets. Cook for about 5 minutes on each side or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
7. Serve: Plate each salmon fillet and generously spoon the roasted pepper sauce over each piece. Garnish with fresh parsley for an added touch of flavor and color.
