I am so excited to share this deliciousness with you guys! It's really, really, really TASTY. The best part is that this Salmon in Roasted Pepper Sauce doesn't require any fancy ingredients and doesn't take much time to make.

ABOUT THE ROASTED PEPPERS

For this recipe, you will need some roasted red peppers. You can use store-bought roasted peppers from a jar or roast the peppers yourself. Both options are good, so you have a choice.

If you prefer to buy jarred roasted peppers, you can find them in all major grocery shops, usually in the aisle with the pickles or near the olives. You can also buy roasted peppers on Amazon.
