Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1 pound wild salmon fillet

  • ½ cup ginger teriyaki marinade

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 medium sweet onion, chopped

  • 3 plum tomatoes, chopped

  • 2 portobello mushrooms, chopped

  • cup balsamic vinegar

  • ¼ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice, or to taste

  • 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce, or to taste

  • ½ teaspoon ground turmeric

  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin

  • ¼ cup sliced almonds

  • ¼ cup sunflower seeds

  • ¼ cup flax seeds

  • ¼ cup sweetened dried cranberries (such as Craisins®)

  • 2 ounces crumbled goat cheese

  • 4 naan breads

Directions

  1. Rinse salmon and place in a container with a lid. Pour in teriyaki marinade; cover container. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.

  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion; saute until soft, 2 to 4 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and mushrooms. Cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add vinegar, soy sauce, lemon juice, and hot pepper sauce. Mix in turmeric, cinnamon, and cumin until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes.

  3. Move vegetables to the sides of the skillet and place salmon in the middle. Cook for 2 1/2 minutes; turn over and cook for another 2 1/2 minutes. Break salmon apart with a spoon and mix with the vegetables. Add almonds, sunflower seeds, flax seeds, and cranberries. Stir in goat cheese.

  4. Heat naan bread one at a time in a skillet over medium-high heat. Toast 15 seconds; turn and toast another 15 seconds. Serve with salmon stew.

Cook's Notes:

I sometimes leave the skin on the salmon; other times I remove it prior to or while cooking, which is easier.

This stew can also be used as a dip for crackers.
