Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs salmon fillets
- 3 Tbsp avocado oil
- 1 cup yellow onion, chopped
- 5 large cloves garlic, minced
- 16 oz jar roasted red peppers, drained
- 15 oz can full-fat coconut milk (or dairy-free alternative)
- Optional: cherry tomatoes
- Optional: baby spinach
Instructions
- Heat 2 tablespoons of avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the salmon with sea salt, garlic powder, and paprika. Add salmon skin-side down to the skillet and cook until golden brown (about 4-5 minutes per side). Remove from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of avocado oil. Sauté chopped onions until translucent (3-4 minutes), then stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute.
- Add roasted red peppers to the skillet along with coconut milk (or alternative) and season with salt. Blend until smooth using an immersion blender.
- Return salmon to the skillet, spoon sauce over it gently, and warm through for about 2-3 minutes. If desired, add cherry tomatoes and spinach during this step.
