Asian Inspired Baked Salmon

This is one of those easy recipes to whip up that doesn't require any time to marinate in the fridge. I went a little heavy on the lemongrass (I absolutely love lemongrass) and fish sauce but it's just so delicious! You can add more or less red peppers depending on your spicy tolerance. This salmon pairs perfectly with rice and side soup!

This looks / sounds absolutely delish, Michelle! Thanks for posting, and I look forward to trying. One quick question, though: when you say 4 red peppers, do you mean bell peppers or those spicy little red bird peppers?

Thanks,
Rose_Anne
