Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh or frozen salmon, skin removed and cut into chunks
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 medium carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 4 cups fish stock or vegetable broth (chicken broth can also be used)
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk or heavy cream (optional for a creamier stew)
  • 1 tsp dried thyme (or 1 tbsp fresh thyme)
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice (optional, for a bright finish)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Optional: 1/2 cup spinach or kale (for added greens)

Instructions

  1. Sauté the vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the diced onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
  2. Add the potatoes: Stir in the diced potatoes and cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing them to absorb some of the flavors from the sautéed vegetables.
  3. Add the broth and seasonings: Pour in the fish stock (or vegetable broth) and add the dried thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine, then bring the stew to a simmer. Let it cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  4. Add the salmon: Once the potatoes are tender, gently add the salmon chunks to the pot. Let the stew simmer for another 5-7 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Make it creamy (optional): If you want a creamier stew, stir in the coconut milk or heavy cream and simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until the stew is well combined and heated through.
  6. Finish with lemon: If desired, stir in fresh lemon juice to brighten the flavors of the stew.
  7. Serve: Ladle the stew into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve warm with a slice of crusty bread for dipping.
