Background

If you want something healthy that's also quick & easy to make, do try this Spanish-style wild salmon and vegetables stew. Serve it with boiled rice or wholesome bread and a green salad on the side.

Ingredients

2 wild salmon steaks
1 sweet pepper/capsicum (yellow, red or green)
1 red onion
1 large sweet potato
1 carrot
1 garlic clove
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tin of chopped tomatoes (400g)
100g green beans or peas (optional)
1 handful of fresh herbs (parsley or coriander)
1 Tbsp olive oil

Instructions

Thinly slice the onion and garlic. Slice the pepper and roughly chop the carrot. Peel and chop the sweet potato.
Heat the oil in a casserole dish and gently sauté the onion, pepper, sweet potato and carrot. When they are tender add the garlic, stir for a minute then add the paprika. Stir for a few seconds and add the chopped tomatoes. Season to taste.
Bring to the boil, turn the heat down and gently simmer for 10 minutes under cover.
Add a drop of water if the sauce is too thick. Chop the herbs and stir in half of them. Add the green beans/peas if using. Bring back to the boil.
Lay the salmon on top of the stew, skin side down. Season with salt and pepper, then put the lid on. Cook for another 10 minutes or so until the salmon is just cooked through.
Serve with the remaining herbs scattered around.

Tips

You can make it with dried herbs too - add a spoonful of dried parsley or thyme to the stew with the paprika.
You can spice it up by adding ½ tsp of dried chillies with the paprika.
