Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large pan and add the peppers, onion and potatoes. Cook, stirring regularly for 5-8 mins until golden. Then add the paprika, garlic, thyme and tomatoes. Bring to the boil, stir and cover, then turn down heat and simmer for 12 mins. Add a splash of water if the sauce becomes too thick.
  2. Season the stew and lay the salmon on top, skin side down. Place the lid back on and simmer for another 8 mins until the salmon is cooked through. Scatter with parsley, if you like, and serve.

    Really different idea for salmon. Salmon really moist but very hot from paprika. Would use less next time

    Made this tonight and was really nice and filling. Made this without the oil so did not fry the potatoes, onion and peppers. I boiled the potatoes in water until just soft and mixed them into the onions and peppers when they were a little soft. I follewed the recipe and then added frozen salmon fillets. This worked really well is full of flavour and cut down on the calorie intake. Will definately make this again this way.

    I par boiled my potatoes first and only used 1 tsp of smoked paprika. Had it with crusty bread. Very tasty.

    Really enjoyed this healthy dish. My Spanish friend told me that her Mum always makes this with tuna instead of salmon so I'll be giving that a go next time!

    Be warned this is very spicy and we really like hot food. Have had to add a tin of cannellini beans to tone it down. I guess it depends on the brand of smoked paprika you use.

    Yeah, nice enough. Smoked paprika has a really strong taste, so if you aren't sure you like it I'd recommend only putting in one teaspoonful.

    Tasty and quick, ideal for mid week. I baked the fish in the oven while the stew was cooking

    We've had this twice now - delicious and easy to do but the fish and especially the potatoes took longer than the instructions said. I still had to cook for longer even when cutting the potatoes into slices. However, with adjustments to the cooking time this is a great recipe. Recommended!

    We really liked this. Was worried about the amount of Paprika but turned out lovely in the end. I par-boiled the spuds first and cut each into 3, not half. Will definately make again. Makes for a good week day meal as quick and easy to do. (I forgot to add Thyme - will try it next time!)

    Like a number of Good Food recipes, this is a fabulous dish but the timings given are out. How on earth is it that supposedly "tested" recipes are so wrong? Once you've sorted the correct timings out for the salmon and the potatoes, this really is a tasty dish. Even those in our family who aren't keen on salmon love it. I've cooked it five times now and have found the best recipe is to cook the salmon for 25 mins once added and part cook the potatoes before adding them 10 minutes before the end.
