Grilled Salmon with Red Pepper Relish

We love the sweetness and bright hue red bell peppers add to the relish here, but you can substitute with yellow or orange peppers, too. Skip green peppers, though, as they may be too bitter for this dish.

Ingredients

1 ½ pounds skin-on salmon fillet, cut into 4 portions
½ teaspoon salt, divided
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
3 medium red bell peppers, quartered, seeds removed
½ medium red onion, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
1 medium jalapeño pepper
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon agave syrup
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 teaspoons capers, rinsed and chopped

Directions

Preheat grill to medium-high.
Oil the grill rack. Sprinkle salmon with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Grill, flipping once, until browned and the fish flakes easily with a fork, 6 to 12 minutes, depending on thickness. Grill bell peppers, onion and jalapeño, turning as needed, until just charred, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Coarsely chop the bell peppers and onions and mince the jalapeño (remove seeds if desired). Whisk lime juice, oil, agave and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add cilantro, capers and the vegetables and toss to combine. Serve the salmon with the relish.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
