With winter in full force, there´s nothing better than a dish that will warm your soul. This Spanish Salmon & Potato Stew is just that. It´s packed with flavors, super easy to make and it´s going to fill your body with so much goodness.
To make this recipe, I used fresh skinless salmon. But you can also use frozen salmon that´s been thawed out. I also used new potatoes. You want to use waxy potatoes here, such as new potatoes, yukon gold or even red potatoes. As they hold their shape and won´t fall apart while cooking.
For the tomato sauce, I finely grated 2 tomatoes. But you can also used canned tomato sauce or even passata as a substitute. I also added a dash of saffron and some dried thyme. This is what really flavors the stew and takes it to the next level.
TIPS & TRICKS to Make this Recipe: Once you add the salmon into the stock pot, place a lid and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. This is enough time for the salmon to cook through. You don´t want to over cook the salmon. Otherwise it gets a tough texture to it.
Key Ingredients & Cookware I used in this Recipe:

16 . Nov . 2023This has become my seafood stew go-to. At first I made it exactly as spec. Later, I substituted different kinds of seafood. It has become much like a chioppino. But much simpler and faster. Thank you!!

Salmon is still frozen, can I add it?
17 . Sep . 2023Spain on a Fork
I would recommend you thaw it out and pat dry with paper towels, otherwise the liquid from the frozen salmon can make the stew taste watered down 🙂 Much love
