Instructions

Preheat your outdoor grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grill grate for perfect cooking.
In a food processor, purée the roasted red peppers until smooth. Transfer the purée to a large, cold skillet.
In the skillet, combine the red pepper purée with chicken broth, Parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup of cilantro, cornstarch, jalapeño pepper, and garlic. Stir until everything is well combined. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens, approximately 10 minutes. Keep the sauce warm until serving.
While the sauce simmers, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add the angel hair pasta and olive oil to the boiling water. Stir occasionally and cook until the pasta is tender but still firm, about 4 to 5 minutes. Drain the pasta thoroughly.
Place the salmon on the preheated grill, skin-side up. Cook until the skin starts to loosen, around 5 minutes. Peel off the skin, flip the salmon, and continue to cook until the salmon easily flakes with a fork, approximately 5 minutes.
Divide the cooked angel hair pasta evenly among 5 warm serving plates. Place a salmon fillet on top of each pasta portion. Drizzle the flavorful red pepper sauce around the salmon and onto the pasta. Garnish each serving with 1 tablespoon of fresh cilantro and chives for a burst of flavor.
