This is an excellent weeknight meal. It only takes 30 minutes to make, which is so nice! It’s also a simple and easy recipe that any “normal cook” can accomplish!
Usually fish doesn’t really fill me up, but these did the trick! It also helps that I had good sized grilled salmon fillets. My lover and I both loved them.
The original recipe actually called for sun dried tomatoes instead of roasted red peppers. I’m sure that the sun dried tomatoes would be delicious too, but the peppers is just what I had on hand.
Go with whichever one suits your tastes!!!
