Aleppo peppers are a secret weapon in your spice arsenal. Sweet and fruity, with a mild spice, they are great chili flake alternative. In this dish, we make a sauce/marinade with them along with lime juice, some herbs, and oil and use it to top salmon. Delicious!

Pro tip: mix a bit of the extra sauce with some butter and then slather that on grilled veggies. Yumm!

Serves: Up to 4
Time: 45 minutes
