Red Pepper-Salmon Pasta
Notes: To reheat, put each serving on a microwave-safe plate, cover with microwave-safe plastic wrap, and warm 1 plate at a time in a microwave oven at full power (100%) until steaming, 2 to 3 minutes. Garnish with cilantro.
How to Make It
Step 1
In an 8-inch baking dish, mix salmon with lemon juice and arrange in a single layer.
Step 2
Tightly cover dish with foil. Bake in a 450° oven until fish is opaque but still moist-looking in thickest part (cut to test), 12 to 14 minutes.
Step 3
Meanwhile, in a blender or food processor, smoothly purée red peppers, parmesan, cornstarch, chili, and garlic. Add cilantro and broth; whirl to blend.
Step 4
Pour pepper mixture into a 10- to 12-inch frying pan. Stir over high heat until boiling; keep warm.
Step 5
Meanwhile, cook pasta in 3 quarts boiling water until tender to bite, about 7 minutes. Drain; return to pan.
Step 6
Stir juices from the baked salmon into red pepper sauce. Mix 1 1/3 cups sauce with pasta.
Step 7
Spoon pasta onto plates. Top with fish and drizzle with remaining sauce. Serve, or cover and chill up to 1 day.

We really enjoyed this recipe. I wish it was a little spicier, but that was our jalapeño's fault. I roasted my own peppers, but next time I will buy jarred. It just save so much time and makes it a perfect weeknight meal!

Outstanding recipe! My family loved it. They said they felt like they were eating at a fancy restaurant. It would taste good with chicken, too, if you want to mix it up a bit. Very light meal with a kick.
