3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes (plus more to taste)
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
4 Japanese eggplants, ends trimmed, thinly sliced lengthwise, then cut into squares
1 pound swordfish steaks, skin removed, cut into 1-inch cubes
1/3 cup white wine
2 cups halved teardrop or cherry tomatoes (red, yellow or a blend)
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Here in the Pacific Northwest it’s salmon season! Yippee, hubby is out on the river having a great time with his friends and the kids and we get fresh fish any time he catches them. lol

I’m always looking for new ways to prepare it. Sometimes we just don’t want to grill again. So here is a slightly different way to prepare your salmon and get some veggies in the mix. One stop cooking is always appreciated.
