Salmon in Creamy Red Pepper Sauce Over and Wild Rice
Pan-Seared Salmon: a healthy, easy, and super delicious recipe! Plus, the Roasted Pepper Sauce to top it is so creamy and soft, without the need of using heavy cream!
Ingredients
- 4 Salmon filets wild caught
- 2 cups Vegetable broth
- ½ cup Greek yogurt nonfat plain
- ½ cup Milk
- 2 tbsp Arrowroot
- 1 tsp Salt
- ¼ tsp Pepper
- 2 cups Fresh parsley
- ¾ cup Roasted red peppers diced or in strips
- 1/2 Lemon juice, or more if you love lemon
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 Onion large
- 1½ tbsp Avocado oil
Instructions
- Heat the pan over medium-high to high with avocado oil.
- Sear the salmon in a pan 1 minute each side. Remove and set aside.
- Bring the pan down to low.
- Add a little more olive oil. Saute the garlic and onion until fragrant.
- Add broth, milk, seasonings, roasted red pepper and parsley. Bring to a simmer.
- Add the salmon back to pan and cook until it is done (flip about half way).
- Stir the arrowroot into yogurt (this prevents the yogurt from coagulating and thickens the sauce).
- Remove the pan from the heat, and move the salmon to one side of the pan. Stir in the yogurt and arrowroot mixture.
- Add the lemon juice.
- To serve: add the wild rice to a plate. Top with the salmon and sauce. Enjoy!
