Equipment

  • 1 large skillet
  • 1 blender
  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 cutting board

Ingredients
  

  • 4 6-ounce salmon fillets Serves 4 persons.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • to taste salt
  • to taste pepper
  • 2 red bell peppers Roasted and peeled.
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cloves garlic Minced.
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • to taste red pepper flakes Optional for a spicier sauce.
  • as needed fresh parsley Chopped, for garnish.

Instructions
 

  • Begin by preparing the roasted red peppers. You can roast them on an open flame, under a broiler, or in the oven until the skin is charred. Let them cool, then peel and remove seeds.
  • In a blender, combine the roasted peppers, heavy cream, minced garlic, lemon juice, and smoked paprika. Blend until smooth and set aside.
  • Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.
  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the salmon fillets, skin side down (if they have skin). Cook for about 4-5 minutes, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until cooked through and flaky.
  • While the salmon is cooking, heat the pepper cream sauce in a small saucepan over low heat until warmed through, stirring occasionally. Do not bring it to a boil.
  • To serve, place a salmon fillet on each plate and spoon the roasted pepper cream sauce over the top. Garnish with chopped parsley.
  • Make sure not to overcook the salmon; it should be tender and flaky.
  • You can serve this dish with a side of steamed vegetables or a light salad for a complete meal.
  • If you prefer a spicier sauce, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the cream sauce.
