salmon fillets in red pepper sauce
Prep time: 15 mins
Cook time: 15 mins
Total time: 30 mins
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 garlic clove, diced
  • 8 thin salmon fillets, without skin
  • 1 red pepper, diced
  • 1 ½ cup water
  • ¼ teaspoon turmeric
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • 1 ½ tablespoons tomato paste
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
  1. Heat the olive oil in the biggest skillet you have over medium heat. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
  2. Add the onion and garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the salmon fillets and fry for 3 minutes on both sides, just to give them some color. Don't let them cook through, the rest of the cooking will be done in the sauce. Be sure not to let the onion and garlic burn, if they start to turn too golden move them to a plate and return them to the skillet when you prepare the sauce.
  3. Add the red pepper, water, turmeric, paprika and tomato paste. Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, until the salmon is cooked through, about 7 minutes.
  4. Serve salmon on a platter topped with a bit of sauce and red peppers.
