Happy Monday guys!
If you haven’t noticed I have been on asian marinade kind of kick. With good reason… ITS GOOD STUFF!
Another reason to love my asian marinade is you can make it in a larger batch and use it all week-long, on chicken, steak or like this fabulous dish, salmon. AND it packs a ton of flavor with so little work, which come on, you know makes it even more awesome.
With all the great fresh produce that is in season hitting the market I can get enough of just dicing them up and throwing them in with a great lean protein making a pretty dish to serve my family.
I used a red bell pepper in my dish, but you can use green or yellow or a mix if you like.
The key to cooking these vegetables is to not over cook them. When you throw them in the skillet, you are not cooking them completely, just half way. Less is more because you will be tossing them into the pan and finishing them off with the salmon and marinade in the oven.

Thanks Jessica!
Going to try the ButcherBox meats. You have inspired me there. Also your recipes are delicious but I have to honestly say, too many calories, fat and salt for me, an old lady. Not a problem, I just easily take them down a notch …same delicious flavors. Thanks.
We really really have been thrilled with the quality of Butcher Box product, so I know you will love it. Sorry to hear that the recipes are too high in calories, but glad you can modify them to meet your needs!
