Publix had samples of this a couple weeks ago. it's a hot salsa of chopped green peppers, onions, mild banana peppers, jar of drained pimiento, sliced shallots, white wine or ck broth, Publix bistro butter. All sauteed. Then you cook salmon in it.

But my DH doesn't like salmon, so I made the salsa separately, cooked a ck breast and salmon, and divided the salsa between the two.

Accompaniment was angel hair pasta with Lite Simply Caesar, bistro butter, chopped tomatoes, basil, shredded parm.

Most stuff came pre-chopped, or my back couldn't have handled it.

Also included is a pic of a pasta pot w/strainer I found online at Crate and Barrel, which is the perfect size for two people. ( Although we have enough pasta left over for a week.) Pasta 5.5 qt.

I will scan the recipe in and post it tomorrow. Publix may still have the recipe card. It's called Three Pepper Fish with Bruschetta Pasta.

Here is the recipe from the Publix card. Glad my back was taking a break from yelling at me that day!

Three Pepper Fish

¼ cup mild banana peppers 1 T canola oil
Finely chopped 1 7 oz jar pimientos drained
3 oz shallots thinly sliced 1/2 cup fried peppers & onions (pre diced?)
4 fish fillets, such as salmon, snapper ½ cup white wine or chicken broth
Mahi mahi, 1.5 lbs 2 T Tuscan herb finishing butter (Seafood)

Chop banana peppers and slice shallots

Preheat large nonstick saute pan on medium high 2-3 minutes. Season fish with salt and pepper. Heat oil in pan, add fish; cook 3-4 minutes per side or till opaque and separates easily.

Stir in wine and butter; cook and sstir 2-3minutes more or until butter melts and wine has reduced by half. Serve pepper mixture over fish.

Bruschetta Pasta

8 oz angel hair pasta
3 T fresh basil leaves, coarsely chopped
8 oz fresh predicted tomatoes (1.5 cups)
1/3 cup light Caesar dressing
4 T Tuscan herb finishing butter (I did not use Seafood for either this or the fish; just plain Tuscan herb)
1/3 cup shaved Parmesan

Cook pasta according to directions. Chop basil and place in bowl; stir in tomatoes and dressing.

Stir in pasta and butter until evenly coated. Top with cheese.
