How to Make Red Pepper Garlic Sauce

  1. Roast 1 large red bell pepper until the skin is blackened (about 30 minutes at 400°F/200°C). Place in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it steam for 10 minutes. Once cool enough to handle, peel, seed, and roughly chop the pepper.
  2. In a food processor or blender, combine the chopped red pepper, 4 cloves garlic, 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or to taste), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Blend until smooth. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more lemon juice for brightness or red pepper flakes for heat.
  4. Pour the sauce over your choice of protein (salmon, sole, chicken, etc.) and serve immediately.
  5. Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
