Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of avocado oil over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, add 1 chopped yellow onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until soft and translucent. Stir in 2 minced garlic cloves and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
- Transfer the sautéed onions and garlic into a high-powered blender. Add 1 cup of roasted red peppers, 1 cup of coconut milk, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend on high until smooth and creamy, about 30 seconds.
- In the same skillet, heat another tablespoon of avocado oil over medium heat. Once hot, place 2 skin-on salmon fillets in the skillet, skin-side down. Cook undisturbed for about 6 minutes.
- Carefully turn the salmon fillets over and cook for an additional 4 minutes or until they reach your desired level of doneness, then let the salmon rest in the skillet for 10 minutes.
- Pour the blended sauce back into the skillet over medium-low heat, stirring gently to warm it through. Add optional cherry tomatoes and baby spinach, stirring until the spinach wilts.
- To serve, plate the salmon fillets and spoon the creamy roasted red pepper sauce over the top. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or basil.
