HOW TO MAKE SALMON IN ROASTED PEPPER SAUCE
Step 1: With salt and pepper, season the salmon fillets.
Step 2: In a medium non-stick skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the salmon fillets to the skillet flesh-side down. Cook for about 5 minutes per side. Remove the cooked salmon fillets from the pan and set them aside.
Step 3: Add the butter and garlic into the same pan and cook for about a minute before adding in the roasted peppers. Continue to cook for another 2 minutes.
Step 4: Into the pan, add the spinach and cook until wilted.
Step 5: Adjust the heat to low, then add in the Half-and-Half, Parmesan, red pepper flakes, parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir well and bring to a simmer.
Step 6: Add the salmon back to the pan and spoon the sauce over the fillets.
Step 7: Enjoy over pasta, rice, or steamed vegetables.
