  1. This looks amazing! I can’t believe I never thought of stuffing peppers with salmon! I will replace the brown rice with quinoa though, as it increases both protein and fiber, while ever so slightly lowering carbs. It should overpower the salmon less, too! Thanks for a great recipe! 🙂

  2. I was just about to add this recipe to my ziplist for the June diet menu. The ingredient list matches what printed out for my recipe card but here it says 4 bell peppers and on my recipe card it says 6 bell peppers. Both here and on the card it says 6 servings. Wouldn’t it actually be 3 bell peppers if each serving is a half pepper stuffed? Or is 1 serving both halves stuffed? Then it would be 6 peppers. A little confused.

    1. You are correct. The number of peppers should be 3 for 6 servings. The recipe post has been updated from 4 peppers to 3. Thanks!
