I just love caramelizing hot peppers with butter and the Turbinado sugar. And when you have a strong flavored fish like salmon, this really stands up. You’ll get the heat and then the sweet! YUM~OH. I served this with my homemade mac & cheese { macaroni and cheese, you betcha! } recipe here on JAP. NOTE: If you prefer less heat, leave ½ the veins and seeds in the pepper or remove them completely. And always wash your hands thoroughly after handing hot peppers!!!!
