Ingredients
- 2 cans salmon drained and rinsed
- 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- Hot pepper to taste
- 1 onion sliced
- 5 tsp curry powder
- 1 tbsp green seasoning
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 4 plum tomatoes chopped
- 4 scallions chopped
- 2 medium potatoes peeled and diced (optional)
- Chopped parsley optional
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Sauté Aromatics: In a medium pot over high heat, heat the oil. Add the onion and hot pepper. Cook until the edges are brown and fragrant.
- Cook Curry Base: Stir in the curry powder, garlic, green seasoning, and 1/2 cup of water. Cook for about 5 minutes until the mixture is grainy and the oil separates.
- Add Tomatoes & Scallions: Add the chopped tomatoes and scallions. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring often.
- Add Potatoes: Stir in the diced potatoes (if using) and cook for 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and allow it to steam for about 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are almost fully cooked. Add water in 1/4-cup increments to prevent burning.
- Add Salmon: Once the potatoes are tender, add the drained salmon. Stir well to combine.
- Simmer & Season: Cover and cook on medium low heat for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in parsley if using. Taste and adjust salt and black pepper as needed.
