Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 whole red bell peppers
- 4 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 medium onion
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 whole lemon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Start by prepping all your ingredients. Slice the red bell peppers into thin strips, finely chop the garlic, dice the onion, and chop the fresh parsley. Cut the lemon into wedges for serving.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side, then carefully flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked to your liking. Remove the fillets from the pan and set them aside, loosely covered with foil to keep warm.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Reduce the heat to medium, then add the diced onion. Cook for 2-3 minutes until translucent.
Add the garlic and stir for 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the sliced red bell peppers to the skillet. Cook and stir for 5-7 minutes until the peppers are softened and slightly caramelized.
Stir in the chopped parsley and adjust seasoning with additional salt and black pepper, if needed.
To serve, plate each salmon fillet and top it with a generous portion of the red pepper saute. Garnish with a wedge of lemon and extra parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Salmon with Red Pepper Saute!
