CREAMY SALMON STUFFED PEPPERS

Categories     Fish     Appetizer     Bake

Yield 2 people

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 oz smoked salmon
1 oz creamy goat cheese
4 oz cream cheese
1 ts cayenne pepper (more or less to taste)
1 green onion, chopped
dash of garlic powder
2 large red bell peppers

Steps:

  • 1. Warm cheeses in the microwave, 10 seconds at a time, checking intermittently until it's just soft enough to mix easily. 2. Combine first six ingredients until nice and creamy, cut the tops off of the red bell peppers and fill. Place tops back on and bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until pepper is softened and a little blistery on the outside. I actually like to hit it with the broiler for a few minutes as well to really roast the heck out of it. I made this two days in a row. On day two I use several poblano chilies instead of bell peppers. Also made a simple cucumber tomato basil salad for the side. A few tablespoons each of olive oil and red wine vinegar whisked with some good Indian ground mustard seed makes for a super fast and tasty dressing.

Tips:

  • Choose the right peppers: Look for large, firm bell peppers with smooth skin and no blemishes. Different colors of peppers, such as red, orange, and yellow, will add a pop of color to your dish.
  • Prepare the peppers properly: Cut the peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and ribs. Make sure to rinse the peppers thoroughly before stuffing them.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the taste of your dish. Choose fresh, flavorful salmon and vegetables.
  • Don't overcook the salmon: Salmon is a delicate fish that can easily become dry and overcooked. Cook the salmon until it is just cooked through, or about 10 minutes per inch of thickness.
  • Serve immediately: Salmon stuffed peppers are best served hot out of the oven. If you need to make them ahead of time, cook them according to the recipe and then let them cool completely. Reheat them in a preheated oven before serving.

Conclusion:

Salmon stuffed peppers are a delicious and healthy meal that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. They are packed with flavor and nutrients, and they are also relatively easy to make. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will love.
