Maybe I'm just a mean mom, but however it happened, my kids grew up eating--and enjoying--fish. I think one of the reasons is this recipe. Years ago we went to a show in LA.
Ingredients
Wild-caught Salmon steaks or filets--as many as will feed your crowd
Organic Peppers of various colors--right now you can find red, orange, yellow and green--about 1/2 cup per person, chopped
Organic Cilantro, chopped--about 1 TBSP per person
Fresh organic lime juice--1/2 tsp per person
1 TBSP extra-virgin olive oil
Salt to taste

Fresh organic lime juice--1/2 tsp per person
1 TBSP extra-virgin olive oil
Salt to taste
Directions
Chop the peppers into 1/2 to 1-inch chunks
Place about 1/2 inch of lightly salted water in a flat skillet, then gently lower the salmon into the water to poach. Cover and bring to a gentle simmer. Depending on the thickness of the salmon, it will need only about 10 minutes to cook through.
Heat the olive oil in another skillet, and then saute the peppers just until tender. Add salt to taste.
Check the salmon. Use a fork to gently open up the thickest part of the fish. When it is light salmon-colored, not deep red, it is done.
Stir the cilantro into the peppers...
...and add a squeeze of lime juice.
Then you are ready to serve! Place the peppers on a platter, and then top with the poached salmon.
This is a great recipe for hot spring or summer days when you don't want to heat the kitchen. I served it with roasted asparagus and an easy arugula, tomato, feta cheese salad.
You might try grilling your salmon instead of poaching, for a real summer-style dish!
