Instructions

  1. In a blender or food processor, combine half of the cilantro, lemon or lime juice, hot red pepper sauce, cumin, salt, and water; puree until smooth. Transfer the marinade to large resealable plastic bag.
  2. Add the salmon to the marinade. Seal the bag, squeezing out the air, turn to coat salmon. Refrigerate for 1 hour, turning bag occasionally.
  3. After marinating, preheat oven to 400*F. Arrange all pepper slices in a single layer in a lightly-greased, medium-sized square baking dish, and sprinkle with pepper and remaining salt. Bake for 20 minutes, turning pepper slices once.
  4. Drain salmon, and discard marinade. Crust tops of salmon with remaining chopped, fresh cilantro. Place salmon on top of pepper slices, and bake, 12 to 14 minutes, until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.
