Ingredients

  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 potato, cubed
  • 1 (14 oz.) can tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 (14 oz.) can salmon
  • dash of liquid hot pepper sauce (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place the tomatoes, juice from salmon, diced onion, and cubed potato into a pan over medium heat.
  2. Cook on low if you aren't starving and want to avoid stirring frequently to prevent the potato from sticking.

Tips & Substitutions

To enhance the flavor of the stew, consider adding other vegetables like carrots or celery to the mix. If you prefer a creamier texture, a splash of coconut milk or a dollop of Greek yogurt can be stirred in just before serving. For a spicier kick, add more liquid hot pepper sauce than the suggested dash. You could also substitute the salmon with other seafood recipes like shrimp for a different twist.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this comforting salmon stew with crusty bread for dipping or a side salad for a refreshing contrast. It pairs beautifully with dishes like Gratin Of Scallops And Mushrooms(Lo-Cal) for a complete meal. For added flavor, consider garnishing with fresh herbs like parsley or dill. Enjoy it as a cozy dinner on a cold night, or as a light lunch option.

Storage & Reheating

Leftover salmon stew can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm it gently on the stove over low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. You can also microwave it in short intervals, stirring between, until heated through. If it thickens too much, add a splash of water or broth to loosen it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use fresh salmon instead of canned salmon?

Yes, you can use fresh salmon for this recipe. Simply cook the salmon until it's flaky and then add it to the stew towards the end of the cooking process to prevent it from overcooking. This will give you a fresher taste and a firmer texture.

Is it possible to make this stew in advance?

Absolutely! This stew can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. The flavors will deepen as it sits, making it even more delicious. Just reheat it on the stove or in the microwave before serving.

What can I do if the stew is too thick?

If your stew turns out thicker than desired, simply add a bit of broth or water to reach your preferred consistency. Stir well and allow it to heat through. This can also help to refresh the flavors if it has been stored in the fridge.
