Sexy Salmon with Onion, Garlic and Pepper Relish























I typically buy salmon in bulk, then divide it up and freeze it for later use. Then, when I'm ready to use it, I just take it out of the freezer about 30 minutes before I'm ready to use it and it's ready to cook! This recipe is simple and quick and can be served with anything.

Ingredients:

- 2 salmon fillets
- 1/2 onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1/2 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 8 garlic cloves, diced
- olive oil
- oregano
- crushed red pepper flakes
- salt
- pepper

To Make:

Drizzle olive oil in a medium saute pan and saute the onions, garlic and bell peppers for about 8-10 minutes on medium high heat until they are semi-tender. (I think they work well semi-crunchy but you can cook them longer if you want them softer)

In another medium saute pan, drizzle olive oil in the bottom and turn on stove to medium high heat.

Season the salmon fillets with salt, pepper, oregano and crushed red pepper (to taste) then add then into the pan.

Cook the salmon about 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip and cook another 1-2 minutes. Turn off stove and let the salmon sit for another minute.

To Plate:

Place salmon into serving dish and top with onion and pepper mixture. Top with crushed red pepper, salt and pepper.

Enjoy!
