Ingredients
- 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
- ⅓ 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
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
