Description
A delectable and easy way to impress your family or guests with rich and creamy sauce that perfectly complements light, flaky salmon.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 salmon fillets
- 1 cup of roasted red peppers (jarred or homemade)
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Salmon: Start by preheating your grill to medium-high heat. While it’s heating up, brush the salmon fillets with olive oil and season them generously with salt and pepper.
- Grill the Salmon: Place the salmon skin-side down on the grill. Grill for about 6-8 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of your fillets. You want the salmon to be opaque and flake easily with a fork.
- Make the Red Pepper Cream Sauce: While the salmon is grilling, combine the roasted red peppers and heavy cream in a blender. Blend until smooth, and transfer to a small saucepan over low heat. Stir occasionally for about 5 minutes until it has warmed through.
- Serve: Once the salmon is grilled to perfection, plate it up and drizzle with the warm red pepper cream sauce. This sauce can also be served on the side for dipping.
- Enjoy: Now, sit back and enjoy the compliments from family or friends as you indulge in this delightful dish.
Notes
Fresh vs. jarred peppers can be used; roast your own for a fresher taste if desired. Cook salmon skin-side down for crispy skin and ensure sauce is blended until smooth.
