20 Minute Baked Salmon Skillet with Creamy Roasted Red Pepper Sauce
Are you looking for an easy, delicious weekday dinner that the whole family will love? If so, then I really think this one will check the box! I made the sauce by blending roasted red peppers, roasted almonds, a tomato, red wine vinegar, garlic, and spices together before bringing the blended mixture to a simmer and adding the cream (you could use coconut milk or a milk alternative as well.) The sauce is so creamy and dreamy! The salmon is lightly pan fried before finishing in the oven and baking in the sauce. I added pasta to mine to complete the dinner! I hope you give this one a try!
