Stewed Salmon

By

Ever since I met my boo and learned his love for salmon. Im forever looking for different ways on how to make it. I came across Chef Zee’s ‘Salmon Guisado’ and had to give it go! It was different than any salmon dish I had. The salmon was shortly stewed in a robust tomato sauce full of herbs and spices. I followed her recipe tweaking a few things. This recipe is worth trying and sure to be a new favorite!

  1. This stew is fantastic! I am unable to buy fresh cilantro where I live so I used a mixture of dried parsley and ground coriander, and it was still great. Can’t wait to try it with the cilantro as I assume it will be even better! Also I used Japanese eggplants as I don’t like bell peppers and it was delicious. I love your website, every recipe turns out great.

    • I love how you improvised and created this to your liking! I like the idea of eggplants, I might have to try that next time I make this. Thanks so much!
