Well now, let me tell ya, this salmon with peppers and onions is just about the easiest thing ya can make, and it tastes like somethin’ special. I ain’t no fancy cook, but this here dish is simple and hearty, just like the meals we used to make back in the day when we didn’t have much. But, let me tell ya, even though it’s simple, it sure does fill you up and taste good!
First off, you’ll need a nice piece of salmon. Not too big, just enough to feed your family or a few folks sittin’ around the table. Now, don’t go gettin’ all fussy about the salmon; just grab the kind that’s fresh and smells like the sea, and you’ll be good. I reckon if ya get the frozen stuff, it’ll work too, but fresh is always better, don’t you think?
Now, ya need a few other things too. Get yourself a couple of bell peppers. Red ones are real sweet, but ya can use green or yellow if ya like. And onions! Don’t forget the onions, that’s what gives it the flavor. You’ll want to slice ‘em up, but don’t go rushin’. Take your time and cut ’em nice and thin. That way they cook down real good, just the way I like ’em. Some folks like their onions crunchy, but I always like mine cooked till they’re soft and a little caramelized, so I start with the onions first. They need time to get all sweet and golden-like.
Once ya got everything chopped up, go ahead and heat up your pan. I just use a regular ol’ skillet, nothing fancy. Put some oil in it, or butter if you’re feelin’ fancy, and get it hot. Now, toss in your onions first. Let ‘em cook for a good while. Keep stirrin’ so they don’t burn. After they start softening, then you can throw in the peppers. Cook ‘em till they’re just right—tender but still with a bit of bite. Ain’t nothing worse than mushy peppers, if you ask me.
Now, let’s talk about the salmon. You can bake it, grill it, or pan-sear it. I like to bake it ’cause it’s easy and don’t make a mess. Just preheat your oven to about 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with some parchment paper. Place your salmon on the sheet and season it however ya like. I just sprinkle a little salt and pepper on mine, maybe some lemon juice if I’m feelin’ extra. Pop it in the oven for 12-15 minutes or until it’s cooked through. You want it to flake easily when ya poke it with a fork. But don’t overcook it, or it’ll be all dry and tough—ain’t nobody want that.
Once your salmon’s ready, take it out of the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. While it’s sittin’ there, you can finish up the peppers and onions if they ain’t done yet. When everything’s ready, plate it up! Put the salmon on the plate first, then heap those sweet peppers and onions right on top. Looks pretty, don’t it? And smells so good, you’ll want to eat it right then and there.
As for the vegetables, well, you don’t have to stop at just peppers and onions. You can throw in some asparagus or green beans if ya like. I always like to keep it simple, but if ya got a garden full of stuff, why not use it? Sometimes I’ll throw in some mushrooms or even some roasted potatoes on the side. It’s all about what you got and what you like!
Well, that’s about all there is to it. A real simple dish, but it’s hearty and good for ya. Salmon is full of them good omega-3s, and them peppers and onions are full of vitamins. So not only is it easy to make, it’s good for your health too. I reckon if ya don’t like salmon, you could swap it out for chicken or another kind of fish, but salmon’s the best if ya ask me.
So, next time you’re lookin’ for a meal that’s quick, easy, and fills ya up, try this salmon with peppers and onions. Ain’t nothin’ to it, and it’ll make your belly happy. And if you’re like me, you’ll enjoy every bite!
