Quick and easy baked salmon recipe with mushrooms and roasted peppers

Growing up I didn’t like salmon. It wasn’t until it was at my aunt’s place, and I had baked salmon, with garlic, butter and asparagus. After that, I was sold. I started making it at home, and this is the recipe I created, Baked Salmon, Mushroom and Roasted Pepper. The best part is that it uses ingredients I regularly have stocked in my pantry and the recipe is beyond simple. The salmon shines in this recipe. The salmon pairs well with the roasted sweet peppers and mushrooms. Don't forget the butter that adds richness to finish the dish off.
