A Caribbean-style stewed salmon dish inspired by a recipe developed by the chef's mother. Salmon fillets are seasoned with sea salt, fresh black pepper, smoked paprika, and Caribbean green seasoning, then flour-dusted and pan-fried until golden before simmering in a rich tomato-based sauce. Traditionally served with rice, boiled green banana, cassava, yam, or other provisions.

1
Rinse the salmon pieces with lemon or lime juice, then pat dry.
2
Combine sea salt, fresh ground black pepper, smoked paprika, Caribbean green seasoning, chopped garlic, white parts of scallion, and medium onion in a bowl to create the seasoning mixture.
3
Toss the salmon pieces in the seasoning mixture and let marinate for 10 to 15 minutes.
4
Heat 2 cups of vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
5
Lightly dust the marinated salmon pieces with all-purpose flour, shaking off excess.
6
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the flour-dusted salmon pieces and fry for about 2 minutes per side until golden brown.
7
Transfer the fried salmon to a paper-lined plate to drain.
8
In a cast iron or sauce pan over medium heat, warm 1 tablespoon olive oil and add the reserved marinating mixture and seasoning package mix, stirring well.
9
Add green bell pepper, garlic, onion, and 1 cup of water, stirring to combine. Reduce heat to low and let the vegetables soften for about 3 minutes.
10
Stir in the tomato paste and allow the natural sugars from the tomato to caramelize with the residual heat for about 3 minutes.
11
Add more water and stir, then add tomato ketchup. Bring the sauce to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook for about 3 minutes.
12
Gently return the fried salmon to the sauce, stir to combine, turn off heat, and let the residual heat bring everything together.
13
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning and salt to your preference. Add lemon or lime juice if desired.
14
Over medium-low heat, gently tuck the salmon down into the sauce for about 1 to 2 minutes, basting the fish with the sauce. Garnish with scallion or green onion and serve.
