Ingredients for making the Red Pepper Sauce
- 1 red bell pepper
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 lemon
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 tsp dry oregano
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/4 crushed red pepper or to the taste
- pepper to taste
HOW TO MAKE THE RED PEPPER SAUCE
First, cut the red pepper and garlic in small pieces. Then, add the rest of the ingredients one by one. That simple!
Preparing your Pan-Seared Salmon
- Heat a pan over medium heat and 2 tbsp of olive oil
- Season your salmon with salt and pepper
- Brush one side of salmon generously with the Red Pepper Sauce. Reserve a part for the other side. Note: I keep one side salmon’s skin because, it provides a safety layer between the fish’s flesh and the pan’s heat. Secondly, It is much easier to take that skin off after 3 minutes of sauteing the salmon’s skin side.
- Turn the salmon and brush the rest of the red pepper sauce you have reserved. Saute for 6 more minutes.
