Spanish Salmon & Vegetable Stew | Packed with Flavors and Easy to Make

This Spanish Salmon & Vegetable Stew, known as Marmitako de Salmon, is possibly one of the best salmon dishes that hail from Spain, but more specifically, El País Vasco in the north of the country. We´re talking layers of amazing flavors, seriously easy to make and done in about 40 minutes.

For this recipe I used fresh salmon fillets, but you can also use frozen salmon here. Just make sure to fully thaw out beforehand. If salmon is not your thing, you can substitute for any other type of firm fish, such as: Cod, Tuna or even Halibut.

Important to use potatoes that are a bit more waxy than starchy to make this recipe. As they hold their shape better when cooked in stews. I used new potatoes, but you can also use yukon gold, golden delight or even red potatoes.

TIPS & TRICKS to Make this Recipe: You can serve this stew warm or even at room temperature. It will hold for up to 3 to 4 days in the fridge in an air-tight container. If you can´t find fish broth in your area, you can also use vegetable broth, chicken broth or even water.
