Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 22 minutes
Total time: 37 minutes
Number of servings: 4
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for a more intense flavor, you can use extra virgin olive oil)
- 3 bell peppers (preferably in different colors for a more attractive appearance)
- 400 g potatoes (choose potatoes that hold up well during cooking, such as Yukon Gold)
- 2 teaspoons sweet paprika (if you want a spicy note, you can also add a little hot paprika)
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons dried thyme (fresh thyme will add an even more intense flavor)
- 400 g tomato pulp (you can use fresh tomatoes, but also quality canned ones)
- 4 salmon fillets (make sure the fillets are fresh and boneless)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for a vibrant look and fresh taste)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the vegetables: Start by peeling and cutting the potatoes into cubes about 1-2 cm. This size will ensure even cooking. Cut the bell peppers into strips or cubes, as preferred.
2. Sauté the vegetables: In a deep skillet or pot, add the olive oil and heat it over medium heat. Add the onion (if desired, you can also add red onion for a sweeter taste) and sauté until translucent. Then, add the bell peppers and cut potatoes. Stir constantly for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables turn golden.
3. Add the spices: Sprinkle the paprika, chopped garlic, and thyme over the vegetables. Mix well to combine the flavors, then add the tomato pulp. Allow the mixture to reach a boil, then cover with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Cook the salmon: Once the vegetables have cooked, season the stew with salt and pepper to taste. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down, cover again, and let simmer for 10 minutes, until the salmon is cooked and flakes easily.
5. Serving: Once the salmon is ready, turn off the heat and let the stew rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle the fresh chopped parsley on top to add a note of freshness.
Serving suggestion: Serve the salmon stew warm, alongside a slice of rustic bread or a fresh green salad. This recipe can also be adapted with other types of fish, such as trout or tuna, to vary the flavors.
Possible variations: You can experiment with different vegetables, such as zucchini or carrots, adding them to the vegetable mix. Additionally, for a more intense flavor, you can add some olives or capers before adding the salmon.
Now that you have all the necessary information, all that's left is to get cooking! Enjoy every bite of this delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make stew!
