The Caribbean meets Italy with this Salmon with Peperonata and Mashed Plantains Recipe.

Have you ever been inspired by a recipe to create your very own winning creation? I totally had that moment this week when I saw this Chicken Mofongo recipe by Vive Mejor. I wanted to give it my own twist but still keep the combination of flavors because they go so well.

Here’s what I did: The original recipe calls for skinless chicken. I took it a different route and replaced it with a plump salmon filet. Salmon cooks quick, I was pressed for time so this was a great way to take a short cut but still keep it delicious and healthy.

I love that the original recipe called for bell pepper and onions so I took it one step further. I added balsamic vinegar, fresh basil, red pepper flakes and Knorr® Chicken Bouillon for seasoning. And just like that it turned into a peperonata. Now it was getting interesting…

I wanted to keep the Dominican aspect to the recipe with mashed plantains. It’s the perfect side to this recipe. I followed along and kept the original preparation from the chicken mofongo recipe. It was amazing! Who knew that peperonata and mofongo could go so well? I kept traditional flavors and added an Italian twist with the help of Knorr®.
