Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets (fresh or thawed)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 scotch bonnet pepper, finely chopped (adjust to taste)
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 teaspoon ground allspice or 6 allspice berries
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or coconut aminos
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime or lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Rinse the salmon fillets and pat them dry. Chop the onions, garlic, bell peppers, and thyme leaves to ensure a smooth cooking process.
  2. Sauté the Aromatics: Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onions, garlic, and bell peppers. Cook until they become soft and fragrant, releasing their natural sweetness.
  3. Build the Stew Base: Stir in the tomato paste, brown sugar, soy sauce, fresh thyme, allspice, and chopped scotch bonnet pepper. Allow the mixture to meld and develop a rich, brown stew sauce.
  4. Add the Salmon: Carefully place the salmon fillets into the simmering stew sauce. Cover the pan and cook on low heat for about 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is tender and infused with the sauce.
  5. Finish with Citrus: Once cooked, squeeze fresh lime or lemon juice over the salmon to add a bright, refreshing contrast to the rich stew flavors before serving.

Notes

  • Choose fresh, high-quality salmon for the best taste and texture.
  • Control the heat level by adjusting the amount of scotch bonnet pepper, starting with a small amount due to its potency.
  • Watch the salmon closely during cooking to avoid overcooking and to keep it moist and flaky.
  • Use fresh thyme for a more aromatic and cleaner flavor compared to dried herbs.
  • Balance the sweetness and saltiness by tasting the stew as you cook, adding more brown sugar or soy sauce as needed.
