Pan Roasted Salmon with Sweet Peppers

Yield: 2 Servings

Ingredients:

2 salmon steaks
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 red sweet pepper, coarsely chopped
1 yellow sweet pepper, coarsely chopped
3 clove garlic, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon wine vinegar
1/3 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
1 pinch cayenne pepper
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Directions:

Heat the oil in a large frypan and saute the peppers and garlic over high heat for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add the vinegar, cook 1 minute more, still stirring.
Push the peppers to the side of the pan, lay in the salmon, cook 30 seconds then turn over.
Add wine. Sprinkle with thyme, cayenne, salt and pepper, and spoon peppers over salmon.
Put the lid on the frypan and cook over medium heat for 6 minutes or until salmon flakes when fork-tested.
Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
