Sweet peppers, tangy lemon slices, and heady spices come together in this simple dish that yields tender fish and vegetables in a flavorful sauce. Serve in bowls over couscous or basmati rice to soak up the tasty juices. Ingredients:
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley |
2 teaspoons olive oil |
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger |
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper |
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets (about 1 inch thick) |
cooking spray |
1 lemon |
1 1/2 cups thinly sliced red bell pepper (about 1 medium) |
1 1/2 cups thinly sliced green bell pepper (about 1 medium) |
2 tablespoons water |
1 large plum tomato, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°.
2. Combine first 10 ingredients in a large bowl. Add salmon, turning to coat. Cover and let stand 15 minutes. Remove salmon from bowl, reserving marinade. Place the salmon, skin side down, in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray.
3. Cut lemon in half lengthwise; cut 1 lemon half crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick slices. Reserve remaining lemon half for another use. Add the lemon slices, red and green bell pepper slices, 2 tablespoons water, and tomato slices to marinade; stir gently to coat. Arrange lemon mixture in an even layer over salmon; cover with foil. Bake at 400° for 20 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork or until desired degree of doneness.
4. Place 1 fillet on each of 4 plates. Top each serving with about 1/2 cup lemon mixture, and drizzle each serving with about 2 1/2 tablespoons pan juices.
