Description
How long has it been since you ate warm comfort food? If you want to taste something warm with excellent taste, then the salmon stew recipe is your comfort food. A recipe that wraps seasoned fried salmon with tender veggies and seasonings. My mom made this stew for me when I was a kid. Growing up, I liked salmon very much, so I also started to make this recipe sometimes as a comfort food. My family’s all-time favorite!
Ingredients
Scale
- 7 salmon fillets washed and cleaned
- ½ cup red, green, and orange sweet pepper
- 4 cloves minced garlic
- ½ cup onion sliced
- 1 medium tomato sliced
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 thyme sprig
For Seasoning
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp of garlic powder
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp all-purpose seasoning
- 1 tsp Badia seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
For Sauce Preparation
- ½ cup honey
- ¼ cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon dark soya
Instructions
- Season and Marinate the Salmon: Take salmon fillets in a bowl and add olive oil and half the seasonings mentioned, such as onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, smoked paprika, all-purpose seasoning, and Badia seasoning. Coat the salmon fillets properly with all the seasoning and marinate for 15 minutes.
- Cook the Salmon with Veggies: Fry all your salmon fillets in olive oil for 5 minutes on both sides. Set aside the prepared salmon. Toss sliced onion and minced garlic into the same skillet and cook for about 20 seconds. After 20 seconds, add the diced tomato and sweet bell pepper. Cook this for about 30 seconds.
- Basic Stew Flavoring: Add your remaining seasoning, dark soya, and ketchup in warm water and add to the skillet. Add honey to the skillet. Cook it for a minute or until the mixture starts to boil. Place the fried salmon in the skillet. Pour the liquid over it, then add lemon juice.
- Additional Flavors: It is topped with sweet pepper, onion, and thyme sprigs. Cook the entire stew for two more minutes, and the salmon stew recipe is ready to serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Choose the right quality salmon. I prefer wild-caught salmon to farmed salmon. Although both are good sources of nutrients, wild salmon is much preferable. Wild salmon have more nutrients than farmed salmon.
- The longer you marinate the salmon, the better it will taste. Marinate the salmon for 30 minutes if you want the flavors to be absorbed entirely.
- Adjust the sweetness according to your preference. If you don’t like the sweetness of honey, reduce the amount of honey and ketchup. I am using honey because I like its sweetness, which is balanced well with salmon.
- Choose your favorite herb for better seasoning. It is seasoned with parsley, Dill, thyme, or other spices you like.
- Sear the salmon from both sides. First, sear the pink meat side of the salmon and then sear the skin side. If you don’t like the skin, you can remove it and then sear both sides. Skins contain good minerals, so I am using salmon with skin.
- Frozen salmon should be thawed first to cook it evenly. Cooking frozen salmon directly will not cook properly.
