Salmon Fish Stew, Brazilian Style Recipe

Salmon Fish Stew, Brazilian Style Recipe
Marinade:
    The cloves from 1/2 head of garlic, peeled, crushed, minced
    2 Tablespoons of fresh lime juice
    3/4 teaspoon of coarse salt
    1 Tablespoon of sweet paprika
    2 1/2 teaspoons of dry cumin
    1 1/2 teaspoons of freshly ground black pepper

Other:
    1 1/2 to 2 pounds of salmon, cut into 2-inch pieces (largish-bite sized pieces)
    Olive oil
    2 medium onions, sliced
    1 large bell pepper, seeded, de-stemmed, and sliced
    2 medium tomatoes, sliced
    Salt and freshly ground pepper
    1 14-ounce can thick coconut milk
    1 large bunch fresh cilantro, chopped, 1-2 cups

    Freshly cooked rice for serving

Method

1 Mix together the marinade ingredients. Let the salmon marinate in this paste for at least 2 hours. The longer, the better.

In a large pan (large covered skillet or Dutch oven), coat the bottom of the pan with a couple tablespoons of olive oil. Add a layer of sliced onions, and then a layer of sliced bell peppers, and a layer of sliced tomatoes. Place the fish pieces, with the marinade, on top of everything, and start layering again - onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Add about half of your fresh cilantro to the top. Pour coconut milk over the top. Drizzle generously with olive oil over the top (several tablespoons).

3 Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover and let simmer for 30 minutes to an hour, until the vegetables are cooked through.

Serve with rice; garnish with remaining cilantro.

Yield: Serves 6-8.
