Notes

Use high-quality roasted red peppers for maximum flavor. Don’t overcrowd the skillet; cook the salmon in batches if necessary. Adjust spice level by modifying the amount of chili flakes. Leftovers can be stored separately in airtight containers for 2-3 days; consume promptly. For a vegan option, consider tofu or chickpeas instead of salmon.
