Join the discussionThis 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! 🙂
Great idea with the quinoa!
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.
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!
Do I cook the salmon all the way through first or partially and then bake it the rest of the way?
The recipe was written based on cooking the salmon all the way through first.
Hi! I want to swap this into a menu, but it’s not showing up in the search results when I click “swap recipes”. any suggestions?
