CREAMY SALMON STUFFED PEPPERS

Categories     Fish     Appetizer     Bake

Yield 2 people

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 oz smoked salmon
1 oz creamy goat cheese
4 oz cream cheese
1 ts cayenne pepper (more or less to taste)
1 green onion, chopped
dash of garlic powder
2 large red bell peppers

Steps:

  • 1. Warm cheeses in the microwave, 10 seconds at a time, checking intermittently until it's just soft enough to mix easily. 2. Combine first six ingredients until nice and creamy, cut the tops off of the red bell peppers and fill. Place tops back on and bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until pepper is softened and a little blistery on the outside. I actually like to hit it with the broiler for a few minutes as well to really roast the heck out of it. I made this two days in a row. On day two I use several poblano chilies instead of bell peppers. Also made a simple cucumber tomato basil salad for the side. A few tablespoons each of olive oil and red wine vinegar whisked with some good Indian ground mustard seed makes for a super fast and tasty dressing.

Tips:

  • Choose the right peppers: Bell peppers are the most common type of pepper used for stuffing, but you can also use poblano, Anaheim, or any other large, mild pepper. Look for peppers that are firm and have a deep color.
  • Cook the rice ahead of time: This will save you time and prevent the rice from getting overcooked when you stuff the peppers.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: The more vegetables you use, the more flavorful the filling will be. Some good options include chopped onion, celery, carrots, corn, and zucchini.
  • Season the filling well: Don't be afraid to add plenty of herbs and spices to the filling. This will help to bring out the flavor of the salmon and vegetables.
  • Stuff the peppers tightly: This will help to prevent the filling from falling out when you bake the peppers.
  • Cook the peppers until they are tender: The cooking time will vary depending on the type of pepper you are using, but they should be tender enough to easily pierce with a fork.

Conclusion:

Salmon stuffed peppers are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. With a little planning, you can have a healthy and satisfying meal on the table in no time. So next time you're looking for a new recipe to try, give salmon stuffed peppers a try. You won't be disappointed!
