Ingredients

1. 1 7-ounce jar roasted red peppers, drained and rinsed (about 3/4 cup)
2. 1 clove garlic
3. 1/2 teaspoon wine vinegar
4. 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
5. 1/2 teaspoon sugar
6. 4 tablespoons cooking oil
7. 3/4 teaspoon salt
8. Fresh-ground black pepper
9. 1/2 pound medium shrimp, shelled
10. 1/2 pound sea scallops
11. 1 pound center-cut salmon fillet, cut into 4 pieces

Directions

1. In a food processor or blender, puree the red peppers and garlic with the vinegar, parsley, sugar, 3 tablespoons of the oil, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
2. Light the grill or heat the broiler. Thread the shrimp on four skewers and the scallops on four skewers. Coat the shellfish with 2 teaspoons of the oil and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Coat the salmon with the remaining 1 teaspoon oil and sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
3. Grill or broil the fish, turning once, until just done, about 2 to 3 minutes per side for the shrimp, 3 to 4 minutes per side for the scallops, and 3 to 4 minutes per side for a 1-inch-thick salmon fillet (the fish should still be translucent in the center). Serve with the red-pepper sauce.

Notes

Fish Alternatives
Feel free to use only one or two types of the fish and shellfish listed. Other grilled fish that would be nice with the red-pepper sauce include halibut, swordfish, tuna, or mahimahi.
